HAve you tested the fuel pressure?? maybe a bad FPR....vacuum leak or bad ground somewhere.

beleive there is a ground wire that is part of the TFI connection (orange??) I'm thinking its on the passanger side head.
if the ground isn't consistant then it will make the electrial signal for the ignition & eventually spark do wild things.

there is a ground on the coil too....definatly check the main ground wire tot the frame as well....it is amazing what a bad or poor ground will do to electronic ignitions
