Aha, a rather dumb problem actually...

The car died while driving, which was caused by a faulty icm/igntion coil, I will diagnose which part is was and get back to you on that as well.
The car had no spark... we installed new ignition parts... while, when my sister's fiance installed the plug wires, he installed them correctly in the sense of firing order(according to a diagram found on a site displaying the correct order...), however I discovered this evening that they were installed beginning on the wrong spot for firing order on the distributor, each one was 1/4 to the wrong position. I fixed the connections and she fired right up.

Here is the diagram from the site...



It displays the correct order, but the diagram should state, or be modified, to show cylinder 1 firing first in the *bottom left corner* of the distributor.

Looking dead on at distributor it should be:
3 4
1 2
