ignition coil life

Should a new ignition coil coil last last longer than two years? Two years ago the ignition coil was replaced on my '91 900 (automatic, no turbo, 130k) along with some fuel check valves to fix a bouncing idle and hesitation problem. The problem resurfaced 3 months ago culminating with my car stalling and not restarting on the way to work last week, leading to a tow to the mechanic. Prior to the stalling event, over the last 3 months the spark plugs, rotor and distributor cap were replaced by my mechanic to in an attempt to fix the bouncing idle and hesitation on acceleration and deceleration, but they did not fix the problem. After having my car towed to the mechanic, he said the car would not start because the ignition coil was bad. He also said that he didn't think the ignition coil would cause the idle problem and hesitation. The idle and hesitation problem seem to be better with the new coil, however.
Is the lifetime of an ignition coil only 2 years?
Could there be an underlying problem that caused the coil to go bad and possibly the original problem of the bouncing idle and hesitation?
Thanks for any ideas.
