I have a 94 cobra and lately as I would just be driving around mainly at 2000 rpm or lower my car's idle just drops to 0 then pops back up and it just does it on a random basis, every now and then I have to crank it over, stop and do it again because it won't start right off the bat either. I just changed my spark plugs and that didn't seem to help. Now i'm thinking distributor cap maybe? Anyways idk give me some ideas.

Sounds like a stator(hall effect sensor) in the distributor. I changed mine out in an hour with hand tools and a BFH but apparently I'm the exception to the rule. Just slap a whole new autozone or napa dizzy in there and you should be good to go. And yes look for the silvery metal shavings under the cap/rotor in the dizzy, its a dead giveaway.

Also change your coil out while your at it. When my stator was bad it kept frying ignition coils.
