Default Electrical Problem, dizzy goin bad?

On my way to work this morning my engine lost all power.
When I put my foot on the gas, it felt like it was getting alot of fuel, but no spark.
I was havin problems last week w/ what seemed like a missfire so I replaced the plugs, wires, rotor, cap and the car ran fine.
What do you guys think, is my dizzy goin bad?

Coils tend to go out. My car sputtered for a while then died for good.

Did a large space craft land or hover nearby?

lmao

it kinda sputters and i slowly loose speed.. Then when I give it gas, it bogs like its getting flooded..
It happened twice today.. the 1st time I pulled over for about 30 sec and then it ran fine.. the other time I turned off the key while still on the highway then turned it back on, and it ran fine.

Time to bust out the multi-meter and try to diagnose what is going bad with checking each sensor inside the distributor for the correct voltage and amperage.

see, the problem is I dont kno much about the inside of the dizzy itself.. i would need a diagram of exactly what i should be checking...
also, the prob doesnt happen all the time, like i said in a prev post, when i turn off the ign then back on, it ran fine..
