Ok good news i had ordered a used coil off ebay and it just showed up and i put it on and wow night and day now this thing runs!! I am still a little confused in all my years of wrenching i have never seen a coil act like this but its fixed and thats all that matters. Thanks to all for trying to help me out
 
Damnit wish i saw this sooner! Ok same issue bad to a lesser fault. I trouble shot mine with some input via online and my own ability. I only discovered the cause on a rainy day it got bad. I scoped my coil out to find out it was dropping its ground at random, my fix i installed a ground wire to the coil bolt straight to the battery cleared up a lot of issues for me.
 
Cool. Yes, a weak spark can definitely cause misfire or no fire under load. There's actually some pretty cool patents related to this phenomenon that use the ignition coil to detect misfires (which are emissions and catalytic converter enememy #1). Believe it or not, checking the coil was simply the next step in the Service Manual's flowchart for your condition (#1 was check for bad gas :)

Glad it's going again.
 
Out of curiosity, what made you decide to order the used coil after seeing that your coil looked good?
