I've expirienced high rpm stumbles at wot and it was the coil. I was able to clean the male conector on the coil, and clean and close in the gap on the plug wire and fixed the problem for a summer. But in the fall I bought a new coil wire. Die electric grease it up!

Bad plug wires caused mine to act just like yours.

My water pump hose was leaking on the opti after it warmed up, caused a situation of missfire/stumbling only after it warmed up.
