Sounds like your prayers may be answered - I'd suspect something electrical and
in the ignition system. Have you pulled a plug wire to see if it's sparking? If
not, start working your way back through the ignition system. I had a problem
some time ago, with the same symptoms, that turned out to be a broken wire in
the harness leading to the power transistor from the ECU.
