3rd Generation I know my fellow gen6er's will help.. gen3's no help

Hey wassup guys I own a 95 camry about 131xxxand I stop driving it a year ago because of this I ended up buying a gen6 but I would like to get this car back on the road for daily driving... Here are the symptoms, when I turn the car on it kinda sounds like its revving or gasping for air and then the needle shoots up 2500 to 3000 rpm and while it idles that high if I try to put it in Rev or Drive it would cutoff... Took it to the shop they said it was the distributor so I changed it not oem but 1 from autozone....Still same issue took it to a local mechanic an he did some ridiculous BS!!! Basically when I got my car back there was a switch which he installed under the side mirror switch and he told me that he bypassed the fuel pump? something like that and before I turn the car on I should cut it on and turn it off when the car is off.... Did absuolutely jack for me and to top it off he charged me like 300 or 400... He better had not hold his breath!!! Anyway my father inlaw decided to give it a shot ran the cpu on it and the codes read it to be the igniter so I had that changed.... Worked good for about a week! Couldn't take it anymore so I bought a gen6 but I would like to get it running and modded for the road.. Any help would be useful if not I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer

Has the fuel pump been touched? It may be on it's last legs, a common cause of the engine dieing under load. Otherwise check the basics - good spark plugs, good leads, intake nice and clean etc. Is it v6 or 4?
