Intermittant no start

Having a problem starting my 94 f-150. At times engine turns over fine but will not start. Used my code reader and found 1 code, 211. IT will start ok for a week or so and then won't start, keep trying and it will eventually start. Every so often it will cut off going down road . Is this code my problem or something else. Thanks for any help.
Eddy

From: Easton,Ks
Code 211 indicates two successive erratic Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) pulses occurred, resulting in a possible engine miss or stall.

Possible causes:
Loose wires/connectors.
Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, etc.).
On-board transmitter (2-way radio).*

Are any of the above present?

*Verify all radio and condenser installations. Carefully follow manufacturer's installation instructions regarding the routing of antenna and power leads.

If no to above then more than likely you have a bad PIP sensor in the distributor or TFI (ICM).
