First thing you want to do is check the ignition. Take a spark plug out and hold it with a pair of insulated pliers. Have someone start the car. If you see a strong blue spark, its not your ignition. If it is your ignition you are kinda in the hole. You can't just replace the coil. You need to replace the distributor. I am having this very problem as I type. The cheapest I found so far was 135 us dollars. Let me know how it turns out.

nopionline.com has distributors for like $90...they also have Bosch caps, rotors, and NGK plugs/wires for decent prices...
