Would the coil cause this?

It's the #5 plug on my 390. Misses at Idle appears to clear up at higher RPMs.

Suggestions?


thanks

Usually, if the ignition system is at fault, it will not clear up at higher rpms because the more rpms you trun, the more you stress an ignition system to fire.

I agree, but I was running out of ideas? Still appears to be a faulty cap.
