Not to worry. I had my Volvo 240 in the shop and when I got it back it would run poorly form time to time. Found that they had not pushed the coil wire in all the way on the distributor cap - it was arching.

As you said - Simple fix

When it will not run, start checking for gas flow and then electric connections. I have to spark (open with screwdriver) and sand my points some times when the car has been sitting.
