94 Camry just stops running

The igniter is between the computer and coils.
The coils always receive 12V DC, the igniter in response to the computer grounds the appropriate coil to fire the plug.
Check resistance of the ign coil. Should be 0.54-0.84 ohms cold, 0.68-0.980 ohms hot.
Ditto for cam position sensor. 835-1.4K ohms cold, 1.060-1.645K ohms hot.
Crankshaft sensor. 1.63K - 2.74K ohms cold, 2.06K - 3.225K ohms hot.
Check for continuity between the white/black wire of the igniter and ground.
Check voltage between the black wire of the igniter and ground, probably -12V DC.
The next time the engine quits check for 12V at the black/orange wires of the igniter and coils.
Check for power at the non-black/orange wires of the coils (each coil has a different color wire plus a black/orange wire).
If you have any auto salvage yards in the area try finding another igniter for a low cost, also try Ebay,

Again thanks for your help toyomoho!!!
I actually bought two igniters on e-bay just in case. They're very expensive new so I thought I would give a used one a try. Every time I would change it I would get about 2 weeks of use out of the car. Like I mentioned it's like unhooking and hooking the igniter back up is giving us 2 weeks, around. This last time I just unhooked the one side and it died right a way then I unhooked the other side which I believe is the side the plugs are on and it's running again..
Your suggestions will give some things to look at .
Thanks!!
