I had the same problem. Mine was the "Stator". Its in the bottom of the distributor under the rotor.

My car would die about 3 times a week and wouldn't start for 20 mins... Dam it was a pain in the ass I changed the Stator and its has been fine ever since.....

HOW DO YOU GET THE STATOR OUT OF THRER, DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR AND TAKE IT APART

Yeah, you have to pull the distributor out. (Well I did anyway..) Un-plug the stator and there was a screw or two holding it in. Its not a big job.

I am having the same problem, and I just got a new distributor, and have not put it in yet, but am hoping that it will turn out ok. My advice, it to just get a rebuilt dizzy, or just upgrade to a better one, and that should take care of the problem, because I have changed eveything besides that, so i now have a new engine bay to find a simple problem.

it could be the constant control relay module, because it is tide into the ignition system. I have replaced the ignition control module, the coil, and the dizzy, and have not fixed the problem, so I looked into it , and found that that is the only other thing that could cause the problem, so good luck.

hey man check the ground wire that is on the right side of your block that goes from the bottom of the engine mount to the frame on the right side as you are looking at it. I had the same problem you are having, and it was the ground wire, that was coverd in crap. laterz.
