it could be that the computer is not getting a pulse reference from the distributor, im not 100% on it. i have the exact same car and have not had that problem yet. i will check the book though.

is the fuel getting to the engine? troublshooting in the book says, fuel injectors, ECM, or fuel pump faulty. also, is the distributor loose ? this could cause the timing to be off. it also says to check wiring in th starting circuit. hope this gives some kind of help.
