Happened to me once. The wire was evidently damaged during the crimp
(have since got a proper crimper to replace the multiple whatever
crimper tool). The constant engine vibrations on the wire cause the wire
to break inside the insulation. looked perfect but the ignition
occasionally missed then as it got worse it missed enough to cut out the
engine then started right up & acted fine again at an idle. I replaced a
major part of the ignition before I accidentally bent the wire while the
engine was running. From the outside the wire & crimp looked perfect.
Since then shaking that wire is done early on when troubleshooting a miss.
