...My first thought was A Bad Coil or 'Brain'. Try a couple other coils to test. If a New Coil helps; don't mount the new Coil to the Engine! It gets hot enough just doing it's job! Mount it to the firewall. I've even mounted them to the decklid hinge bolt! Keep them cool! An aluminum heat sink would be in order. Just thinking 'outloud'...
