I have drained fuel tank and changed fuel filter with no regard. Also have checked tps, map sensor, and iac which all check good. Also changed distributor which was corroded and plugs which were black. There is also suit in the throttle body and oil in the channel on the passenger side opposite of iac chamber of the throttle body. I am at a loss of what else to check and cannot afford to pay a mechanic right now so I'm hoping someone can plllllease point me in the right direction on here. Oh I also check fuel pressure it is about 55lbs when key is on and bounces around 55 and 57lbs when running. Somebody help a broke man out
This concerns me deeply, Why where the plugs black? That means they are fouling out, oil and or too much fuel will do this.
Also Oil in the Intake is never good, that means you are burning oil through your intake and gumming everything up.

I am going to assume you replaced the Cap and Rotor on the Distributor.
You replaced the Plugs?
You have Good fresh fuel?

Those Being YES! Start with buying a Can of Carb cleaner, when the engine is at idle, start spraying it in the intake, not so much you choke and kill the engine, just meter it in as the engine bogs down stop, then add a little more. If you can idle the engine up to 1500 during this great.

It will clean a lot of that crap out of the intake and such. You will need to let eveything cool down, pull and check the plugs, they should be a little black but not bad.

Now you you will need to find out why you have Oil in the intake. I am not exactly familiar with your engine but does it have PVC <positive crankcase hose> going to the intake and connecting someplace? If so it might be full of oil and this is the source of the oil to the intake, replace the PVC Valve, very cheap.

Doing these things will help get her cleaned up and hope she starts running.
