I have a 1994 F150, 302. For the last 2 months it has had a miss, like a bad plug, but it doesn't happen all the time. Some days it will miss first thing in the morning all the way to work. Some days when I leave work it will miss until I turn it off, start again after a couple miles and runs perfect. It did not have a miss at all today. Other days, I crank it, runs fine for 2-3 minutes and then starts missing. One person told me a bad pick up coil in the distributor......another said maybe the ignition module.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this.....and Thank you in advance.

lets not overlook the obvious like cap, rotor and wires. the other things most likely will not cause an occasional miss.
