Have you pulled codes yet? How's your fuel pressure at idle, with the vacuum line disconnected from the fuel pressure regulator? You should be seeing ~39PSI. What's your base timing set to, with the spout out? Anywhere from 10-16° base should be good, but you may run into some detonation issues with the higher base timing, if you aren't running higher octane gas. I would suspect the TFI or ignition coil before the stator based on the symptoms you're experiencing. Typically with the stator being bad, it's a no-start, no-run condition, and your fuel pump won't even prime when you first turn the key on.
