Oh, ok the mass air flow.I'll check it, but I didnt know if you thought it could be the cam/crank sensors inside the distributor, or the ignition module, because its not getting spark when its not running.

Check the resistances of the P/U coil the specs is in the repair manual and for the ignitor you need a special testing equipment or try swapping it-
