Default '86 needs help

I am looking for a recommendation for a C-4 mechanic in the Cleveland Oh area. Car started running badly about a year ago. Replaced many parts including the computer. mass air flow, fuel pump, knock sensor, air flow sensors. Also had 2 mechanics look at it including myself. Was running badly last year but will not start at all now. Just looking for help to get it running.

I just spend a year working on a similar problem,tested everything under the sun and two weeks ago the car died and it turned out to be the ignition module, a $23.00 part changed it out and now the car runs like a champ.
