I took it out the other day went to the gas station put gas in it and as I was pulling out of the parking lot it died. I tried to restart and it would turn over and fire but die quickly. I purchased some starting fluid at the gas station and no luck. I towed the car home and changed the plugs and no luck. I replaced the coil and no luck. The vehicle wont fire on starter fluid so I am assuming it is an ignition problem. Any ideas or suggestions.

Fun little cars but not high on the dependablility list IMO. Can throw same repairs time after time - arggh!
