My car has been having an electrical problem with starting up on occasion. Some days there is no problem. We've checked the battery, replaced the distributor cap and rotor, replaced the ignition coil and no luck. When it does start up I can drive it but it will sometimes just die and not want to start back up. We've pinpointed that when it's refusing to start, we can't get spark to the ignition coil. Are there any mechanics out there who have experience with these symptoms that may have some suggestions? Thanks!

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Ignition module is a very common failure, its a common GM module, under the dist cap, takes a 5.5 mm, pull it and have it checked.
