I have a similar complaint. Our 99 Metro 1L (3 cylinder) distributor engine has failed to start 4 times in the last 3 months. We wait a day or so and it starts fine and runs another week or so. today it quit again. I put a timing light on it and confirmed the reason it won't start is there is no ignition signal getting to the plugs (ala no spark no fire). I talked to the dealer and he is guessing it is the "ignition module". The only want $400 to replace it (includes $44 labor). I can get a new one at Rock Auto for $80 and install it myself in 5 minutes so don't think I'll go to the dealer. I'm still not sure it is the cause of my problem however because the problem is so intermittent. I'm going to do some coil voltage checks prior to ordering any parts. So, the first question you should ask before you start throwing money at it is "do I have spark". Just put on a timing light and turn it over, no spark, no start. If you have spark than start looking at your fuel system, eg pump, etc. If you don't have spark, fix it first.
Good luck
Timing is off. Remember it requires that the 2 timing cams be positioned right to get optimal fire to plugs.
