i would start with the coil, then check the distributor. what resistance are the stock plug wires supposed to be at? if you dropped the resistance, with the wires you installed, by too much, you may have fried something by drawing too much current.

i agree with your mechanic that its most likely an electrical problem, especially since you have changed those parts, and he found a problem with the old cap. replacing the fuel filter just to be safe is never a bad idea, especially considering how many miles you have on that one. the other thing to do is get your injectors cleaned out.
