On the waste spark motors I very seldom find the plug wire connector bad, but I'm sure it does happen. The connector under the coil are really fragile and cause lots of problems. Just for information purposes, in misfires on the cylinders with plug wire and connectors instead of coils, the misfire is actually the coil. It still works the cylinder it is on but has an internal short on the side going to the cylinder with the wire.
