Default Help.. 87 Sentra starts, runs a little and Quits

i put a spark indicator on it and it is getting spark, i put an electric fuel pump on it..has fuel

new coil sence it started doing this, i suspect the coil transistor or the IC module/ignition module in the distibutor..it doesn't run very long before it quits.. takes a long while to start again them quits in less than a minute or 30 seconds, then wont start again for a long while..

i really need to get it going, my wife is in a wheel chair and has to take me to work at 5:30 and then go to work 8:.. it is wearing her out.. I had to haul it in from the local shop.. they were just swapping parts and putting the wrong parts in it from other cars.. they had no idea where to start or stop.. $140 for doing nothing.

thanks for any help..
