Re:no spark
Sounds like you computer goes into some kind of limp mode my car did that once and the other time it was a cyl-pos wire that desoldered it self from the distributor. As far as the ignitor goes i thinks its just as expensive as a new distributor.

Re:no spark
ignitor looks like little chip type thing usually found INSIDE and adjacent to the coil. usually if the ignitor goes it will never start back up, i would try the coil first, its cheaper and also the coil is more likely to go out.
you might want to just carefully check the connections inside the dist. i once had a tiny wire that was loose and i ended up with a new coil,ignitor,cap and rotor before i found out a freaking wire was loose.
good luck
