I had that happen with my coil once and I have it mounted away from the engine and heat. I think that any coil can fail once in a while. A friend was having trouble with his as his car would suddenly just stop as if you had shut it off and then it would start and run ok for a while. When we got back to his garage he had it running and I happened to be looking toward where he had his coil mounted and saw a flash and the car stopped. In this case the coil was arching from the high voltage terminal to the cover of the coil. We called the tech support and they told us that particular coil had that problem and to throw it away as they would get a new one right to him. He never had a problem after that. But he had a different brand of coil.
