The answer you gave to the question about the configuration of the ignition system indicated that you are not practiced in automobile mechanics; you were not able to identify the system.
The person who has worked on the car up to this point seems limited to reading codes, but does not have a good understanding of the most basic physics involved in the generation of ignition sparks. That person also may not understand that tracing through all of the power supply wiring that is a part of the primary side of the ignition system is a necessary first step. If power is not reaching the EZL (the ignition control unit), an infinite number of parts can be changed, to no avail.
Attempting to pass information through a third party, who may, or may not be a native English speaker, introduces an additional degree of error.
Folks on this forum will strive to help, but a clear dialog is going to be necessary.

I understand I'm practically playing telephone and to be honest I would not have picked this shop as my first option for my car but my car stopped on me unexpectedly and I did not want to pay for a tow truck to drive my car 45 miles away.
I'm not expecting you or anyone to know the exact answer to the problem but I'm trying to get a consensus of the common problems that could cause this to occur. If I could at least keep this discussion open it would help me from paying hefty fee to tow my car.
I appreciate your comments and and still persistant on finding a solution to my dilemma.
Thanks for your help
Frank,
I notice you're in Modesto. My car is in a shop in SF and would rather have knowledgeable mechanic work on it. If you know anybody in the city that can troubleshoot this I'd be happy to tow it there. Let me know.
Thanks.
