My bad, for some reason I thought the coils ran like coil packs... return ground like in the newer cars... DUH

Check your plugs while your there. Could have a crack in a plug. But sounds more like your coil than anything.

You could always lift the tank off, exposing the wires, run it in a dark garage and see if you see a "light show"
Did this on my vw fox once and saw a lot of arcing

UPDATE:

New symptoms: Put some miles on her today .... got out on I-285 crunk her up to about 85 - 90 (about 6200 - 6500rpm) and the engine died while at speed. The engine then re-ignited itself after the rpm's decreased and all cylinders were firing. I think the problem is in the ignition system. I ran it passed someone that I listen to (from time o time), he seems to think it could be the either the signal generator or the coils.
