My '87 244 is dead. Again. 200 1987

So my car won't start. But I won't give up on her, cause she's the love of my life.

We've tried two distributors so far. The first time, The car started right up and it ran better than ever.. for about an hour and a half. I went to like the next town over and then on my way home, it started running badly, but I made it home. Then after, when we tried to start it, it wouldn't turn on.

We then got a new distributor and got it started like twice, but it would stall when you tried to put it in gear. The only time it acts like it wants to start is when you turn the key off.

Also when you unplug the hall sensor lead wire with the key on, the fuel injectors fire and you totally get zapped by the coil wire.




PS. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I don't know what I'm talking about. My dad knows about cars but made me do all the talking anyway (jerk).
