I agree...check the coil....I had a brand new accel coil that my ohm meter

Jim,
I would check the coil. I've seen the same thing happen before.
It's easy enough to throw in a known good used coil and give it a try.
They are famous for letting your car warm up before they quit.
Good luck,
Bob Bender
