Default Not starting

I was driving my 87mustang home last night and it was kinda of sputtering at times. Once i got home i shut it off and was going to run codes on it. So i went to turn the car on. It started up but was sputtering really bad and the intake sounded like it was sucking tons of air in, then it died. Tried starting it back up and it would sputtering then die. So i decided to reset the computer and see if that made a difference andmess with it tomorow. So the next day it wouldn't start at all. I pulled my ignition coil and it turned out bad replaced it and didn't start. The guy at autozone said that the coil could of fried my module. I haven't replaced it yet but if its not that what do you guys think it could be?

Almost sounds like your distributor turned, is it loose?

i did a key off code scan and got codes 21 and 24, tried moving my distributor and it wouldn't move. Can the ECT and the ACT affect it from starting?
