Car won't start
Discussion
The ignitition module is normally attached to the side of the disrtibutor mine has 2 wires into one connector and a single in to the other.
There is also a resistor module that could be checked.
As you say you have spark, try some easy start direct, just to rule out a fuelling issue.
It Is possible that the ECU may have a dry joint?
To test an injector get a couple of AA batteries in series (3V) to test the injectors they should click. Find and easy to reach Injector (if the is such a thing), pull off the harness, touch the intector pins.
To test the ECU is firing the injectors get a LED and a sutable resistor put inline across the injector harness connector.
See if you can find any information related to "vintagemodelairplane", he passed a few years ago, but had a lot of Interweb based information, including a good electrical test process.
I found this on "Wayback".....

Mine won't fire after it hasn't been used for a couple of months. I find putting the accelerator flat to the floor soon brings an odd fire and it slowly picks-up. I've also found removing the connector and spraying the contacts of the resistor pack mounted on the nearside wing helps. Mine just needs more use.
I meant to add that I've had ignition amp issues and have now mounted it by the coil using the remote kit, but the issues I had were all when hot. Cold starts were never an issue. I broke down once at a set of lights and called my wife to tow me back the 1/2 mile to home. Having broken the front spoiler with the tow rope (my wife's fault) the car then started perfectly as it had cooled down.
