I would have to agree about replacing the pick up coil, as it is really inexpensive. And considering how much a road side tow would cost, or the inconvenience of being stranded out in the middle of no where...I would replace it if the distributor was already out.
Its easy to do, just drive out the roll pin that holds the gear, pull the shaft out, remove the spring clip that holds the coil and do the install in reverse. You may need some carb cleaner to get the shaft to come free as it will be stuck most likely.
When I got my Silver SE, it drove perfectly for like 2 months. The first morning it was foggy out, it wouldnt start. Get home from work in the afternoon, it starts right up. Next morning, fog, no start.
The Pick up coil had some green corrosion forming on the terminals and was intermittent.
Just a heads up, just like everyone on the forum says to replace your ignition module, the pick up coil is a part of that equation also.
