Help kill ELECTRICAL GREMLIN! part 2

Ok, here was my original problem:

Here's an update:
I've tried swapping the coil, wires, distributor cap, rotor, distributor, and ignition module. All have failed at solving the problem. My last attempt was the distributor due to the notorious PIP sensor, but no cigar.

Here's where I get confused:
I replaced the distributor and put the new one in to essentially the exact same position as the original. The car wouldn't start. There was no spark. After a few minutes of head scratching, I removed the SPOUT connector and it fired right up. Plugged the SPOUT connector back in, while running, shut the car off and restarted, no problem. Took the car for a spin, died a mile down the road like before. Took the SPOUT out again, fired right up and drove home without it in, running like crap. What's going on here? Please help.

Thanks

Are you kidding?

Just to let you guys know, it ended up being the PIP sensor. The one in the new distributor was bad. I talked to the guy at Autozone and he said they don't even replace those when they rebuild them. Anyway just thought I should post some results. Thanks for all the help guys.
