[T3] Mystery Miss

[William J]

This may not help yet I had a coil act up in the same manner on a new 70 
ford falcon .

 I took it to the dealer and they worked on it then told me to wait a bit 
longer while the tech made sure his work was to perfection. All they did was 
get grease all over the door and seat and steering wheel.

 When I got home I looked and noticed something wet around the coil clamp 
and changed the coil with one off my old ford and it fixed it.

 What happened was speeding up in any gear it would buck and jerk and would 
stop cruising even then it would miss on and off. Some times it would stall 
yet start right up. temps didn't affect it that I recall.

 All it takes in a faulty winding inside the coil of even a bad connection 
on either of the 2 leads or in my case the fluid in the coil to leak 
slightly. Anything in the coil that breaks down due to internal heat or 
vibration can come and go .

 I would start with another coil .
