Default Engine Issues

OK, my 93 Prelude Si 2.3 has been running fine at 106k miles then one day I'm driving and around 3000 rpm it cut in and out a couple times. My clutch is bad, so I thought it was just a little slippage.

Couple days later, it cuts in and out again and the car starts to rough idle, and a lot of back fire at idle, then it stalls at idle unless the revs are kept up. At one point, the car wouldn't even restart until I waited for awhile. Anyways, after awhile it ran normal again.

Thought it was my egr, since I was getting a code 12 (egr failure) on long freeway drives, so I plated the egr, the prob went away but then came back in a couple hours of driving.

These probs are really occasional, but I am thinking along the lines of fuel injector or fuel pump probs????

The coil, plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap, rotor are all new. The distributor is about 2 years old. Timing was also recently done, as with valve clearances. Any input would be great, sorry for the long post.
