Test the pickup coil (also known as cam sensor) inside the distrubtor.

Swap the ASD relay under the hood with AC relay.

Test Crank Position Sensor.

Test coil.

I just went through this nightmare and for me it was the pickup coil. There's are hundreds of posts showing the testing procedures in more detail.
