89 200q No start, update....

[Samir Shah]

When this happened with my car, it turned out to be the distributor. By 
fiddling with the connector to the hall sensor, it worked for a little 
while then died again. Try fooling around with the distributor (i.e, 
removing connecter, cleaning and tightening clips in connector with small 
screwdriver, and then reconnecting) and see what happens.
