I know you checked and double checked everything BUT something eluded you. Start by cleaning the ground strap from the battery. If that's no it continue to work from the battery back.

My 1988 Fiero with a four-cylinder had problems with the ignition packs. I don't know about earlier years, but the 88 Fiero four-cylinder did not have a distributor. Use coil packs that electronically were fired. I had problems with the coil Pals dying and had to be replaced after about 8 years.
