Check your coil wire and where it plugs in to the coil. Happened in July to my 95 9C1 DD, both were all corroded

Yup, check the harness going into the coil. There should be 3 wires there for the two plugs that go together to plug into it. They have a habit of corroding.
This is obviously the easiest/cheapest possibility, but I would check it first.
