Dean,

It's sometimes the case that the plug coming to the trigger points from the f.i. wiring harness connector needs to get rebuilt. The wires that come into the back of the plug can break and make intermittent contact, which can make the car run lousily or not at all. Something to keep in mind, in case this happens again.
