Need help 87 GTA 5.7L TPI

everyonce in a while while driving the check engine light would come on and hte tranny wouldent shift properly(knew the tranny has problems from the very start, thought that was the concequence) today check engine light comes on starts to run crappy like always, im goin 50kms and she turns off so i drift to the side of the road. car wont start, listend for fuel pump/banged tank while my brother turns the key. not the problem. it turns over but fire. tow truck guy says possibly somthing coil(cant remember what he said...something along those lines) any one know whats goin on, im gonna look at it when i get to work tomorow. thank you in advanced
