COIL "Breakin' Down"???

Have 88' BII, 2.9ltr-5spd. Have new Distributor Cap, rotor, new plugs and wires. Ignition Module is bout 2 years old as well as the battery. Coil...AND Alternator around 4 years. Anyways, after i get up to operating temperature(Round 190*)the thing develops a "miss". AND, it doesn't do it all the time it's intermittent. Depends alot on the outside temperature. Could it be the coil "breaking down" or maybe the alternator cutting on and off? Thanks! <!-- / message --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig -->

If it is heat related, it most likely is the TFI module that is the problem

TFI would be first on my list as well. Followed by a close second being the pick up coil in the disty itself.

Gray plastic box at the back of the distributor that has the wires going into it. $30 for the Wells at Advance Auto.
