Default im confused!! need help asap!

ok so here is what my car does, after 4000 rpm it spits and sputters, then it will randomly just die completely going down the road. it did this tonight and i checked for spark, it was getting no spark when i pulled the wire off the opti and placed it against the header bolt. so i thought coil, i bought a new coil then came back to the car about 30 minutes later and my friend decided to try to start it one more time, it started fine and idled fine. what is wrong with it?!

Could be a loose or intermittent connection to the optispark/coil.
