Default Car idles then shuts off

I have a b18 the car starts and will idel but, when it revs to higher rpms, and comes back down it will idel at 500rpm and eventually shuts off. The valve seals are bad. It's not the alternator or battery. Any ideas? I'm thinkin the distributer.

need more details... Does it do it from start up or does it take a few minutes (from cold start) before it acts up?
