Check the distibutor, more specifically the Hall sensor in it, can be done by letting the car idle and then tapping the distributor lightly with the handle of a screwdriver, if it¥s cuts out than it¥s the Hall sensor, can be bought as a restoration kit. Also check the wiring to the ignition module, if Im not mistaking it¥s on the left wheelhouse. /Mats
