Ignition break up!

Ok last night i was on my way to fill up gas and i went to boost and as soon as i did i started getting what felt like ignition break up. My boss and i checked my car out and well i changed the plugs and went through the wires and sensors and all seems good. So how often have you herd of a coil going on a fd? it's my fist fd. It will ride fine as long as you pull away slowly and don't rev hard. So how popular is the coil failure on these cars? and if it is my coil what do you suggest i replace it with? MSD, stock, etc.? please help.

Is your car modded/running higher boost? You will probably need to add an ignition amp(twin power, MSD, ect). I run a MSD6A and it works great. Also replaced the FD leading coil with one from a T2(stronger).

If it's stock there's something wrong; the factory service manual shows you how to test the coils, pretty simple.

Could also be a tuning issue if you have an ECU.

The NA and TII all use the same coil both S4 and S5...So just get one from any FC--that works of course!

Exclamation

Well i changed my coils today and same thing. This is really pissing me off. Ok it only runs bad if i wanna accelerate hard and just stomp on the gas. But if I just gradually get on the gas and do so the whole time it will be fine. If it was a ground it would be there no matter what am I right so that singles that out. I'm down to TPS, ECU, injectors maybe? pluged fuel filter maybe? any ideas? i need this fixed
