If you're having this checked by a mechanic, have them test the crank angle sensor in the distributor. Another thing to check is the power transistor just before the ignition coil in the circuit.

There are ways listed to check these things in the diagnostic manual. The CAS will throw a check engine code usually if it is bad...
