ignition control module maybe unsure on 240sx but I had one go out on an old cavalier z24 it would try to start and not start running. That's what it ended up being.

Wouldn't be the ignitor because he is getting spark. Aligning the dot on the distributor just means that your going to be in the right ball park but you still need to get a timing light on it. Double check all your engine to body grounds and the ground from the coil sub harness. You might just have a weak spark
