Grounds?

With the coil to head ground, it is one of the grounds that attatches to the 
water outlet on the drivers side of the head...  Check to see if the wire is 
brittle (ie broken inside, poor connection), or if the crimped connection is 
frayed...  I did have this problem with mine not too long ago...
