While ignition coils can and do go bad, I would suggest carefully checking and cleaning the coil wires first.

Thanks Wally,
All new wires and caps and stuff,
Can the coil get weak?

Yes. The insulation on the secondary windings is pretty thin, and can puncture thru, shorting part of the turns, which lowers available voltage. Such failures can also be temperature sensitive.
