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.

The pipe has come off again I have dropped the angle of the air filter.but this has happened few times now.
Common issue so I changed mine to have a 135 degree start onto a joiner then the 90 degree bend. Maybe not the prettiest solution but it's worked for about 8 years so far.
