Need help fast! Injector points?

Need some advice fast. 1.7L starts but soon dies.
Here are the symptoms so far:

Happened suddenly. Was running fine until just before reaching work.

Fuel pressure 30psi as long as pump is running. Pressure steady while engine cranking and sputtering. This means pump and reg OK, yes? Fuel filter less than 6mo old. Yes, there is gas in the tank.

Can almost keep it running if I tap-dance on the throttle. Also, with key on, engine off, move throttle, I can hear injectors click. This means TPS working, yes?

Can't remember if TPS signal goes thru injector points, or if they are totally separate. If separate, could this mean injector points are bad? Had dizzy apart about 6mo ago. Everything looked fine.

Any way to tell if problem is injector points OR in brain?

Any particular ground wires to check?

Anybody know of a place in the Inland Empire (So. Cal) where I can get a set of injector points (if needed) tomorrow? Don & Glenn's? Phone#?

Hope this makes sense. Writing fast 'cause I need to catch a ride home. Will check back tonight. TIA
