Engine dies, won't start back up - intermittent Options

[8086GCelica]

I have a 1994 Celica GT, automatic transmission, 2.2L
I'm having a problem where my car will start and run for a little while, then the engine will die. When I try to restart the car, it will not start for a few minutes, then start again and die again.

I checked for spark when the car won't start and there is NO SPARK.

I had the distributor cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs, and ignitor replaced with new parts. I still have the same problem.

Should I try having the distributor coil changed next? or are there other suggestions?
Someone had told me that the distributor coil on my car is internal.

Thanks in advance.

I know this is a departure from the other posts, but when the car dies and you say it won't start for a while, the starter is kicking over still right (during the time the car doesn't start)? I drove a car that did do that, and it ended up being a bad battery.
