Taking the distributor apart won't tell you anything, because you can't tell if a position sensor is bad just by looking at it.

I don't really think that you have a distributor problem though, because that wouldn't affect how long you have to wait before it starts again.

It's probably either the coil, or the main relay. Both pretty common issues with that car.

One of the position sensors could have been partially failed. If that's what happened, that's definitely not the normal failure behavior.
