So many things can cause this, but like many others, I think first of the thing 
that
caused it the last time I had such a miss... for me it was a poor connection at 
the
coil.  The rivets that hold the spade connectors were loose and would make poor
contact intermittently, particularly under the vibration of acceleration.  I 
peened
the rivet a bit to tighten it and then added a drop of solder to each to assure
solid contact.

Of course this may not be your problem at all -- just thought I'd offer another
thing to try if you run out of ideas.
