Get a voltmeter and measure the voltage on the wires in the connector which may be bad.
With the ignition switch in Run you should see 12v on the input pin, RD/LG.
With the connector on the COP probe the output lead for 12v getting thru the coil, which should be the OG/YE wire.
You could slide a paperclip into the connector alongside the wire to test.
The 12v goes to the PCM on the OG/YE wire to complete the circuit at the right times to fire the coil, but I don't have the diagrams for your year PCM to tell which PCM connector/pin that wire goes to.

It sounds like a broken wire that is barely making contact when the vehicle is moving.
You need to trace the 12v from (I think) fuse #30, thru the coil, to the PCM connector.
If that is all good the grounding chip in the PCM may be blown.
