Default car will start sometimes but then sometimes it wont?

this saterday i stopped at the gas station and when i was leaving i tried to turn the key to start it and it just turned over and over but no vroom. i kept trying and the car still didnt start, so i gave up and called AAA to tow my car, first 5 miles is free, so wtf. Anyway the next day i went to try again and it started up. i shut it off and then tried again, and bingo it would start. i tried again and had a friend look at the end of a spark plug wire, and bingo no spark. My friend said it might be the ignition module, what do you think? can this be fixed with out getting a whole new distributor, there kinda pricey? can you ohm out an igniton module, anything else i should check out inside the distributor, or dont even bother and get a whole new one.
