Could be a faulty wire, cap or plug. Switch #1 plug and wire with another and check. If #1 misses, put old cap back on and check again. After that -- look for ghosts.

this sounds like a plug wire or the plug itself. it has been known to get a bad plug or wire even tho it is new. try changing this out to see if this is the cause. since it is working most of the time-- it may be heating up and shorts out until itcools down then it works again. hope this helps
