if the coil isn't firing, check to see if the injectors are firing like they should.
take your dist. out. leave everything plugged in, except for the coil wire. Turn the gear at the bottom, you ought to hear the fuel pump and the injectors. if everything is working the way it should, try to wiggle the cam sensor plug while you turn the gear. If at any point, things act funny, that plug is the problem. Its not the best design. It wears out after a while. if the connection isn't a good one, then it will teak the ecu. which in turn, won't tell the coil to fire, and it won't tell the injectors too shoot.
unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to replace it. you can kinda jimmy it, if you know how to take the plug apart without breaking it.
try it and see if it works.
good luck.
