ignition coil ? was fuel pump?

[wa b]

hey,
   well, I thought it might be the fuel pump, prolly not.  Car has an
intermittent problem.  I got 5 miles from home and it died, had it towed
home.  Car was running fine then nothing, of course the next morning it
started right up.  Now checking out the ignition system(thanks Ben) I find
that the ignition coil might be the problem.  The primary resistance
measures within spec.  The secondary measures wide open, or infinity,
between terminals 1 and 4 on the coil.  Could that cause an intermittant
problem?  Seems like it wouldnt run at all but I`ve been wrong before.  I
didnt order a fuel pump but I did order a new coil.  Am I on the right
track?, Thanks in Advance, tring to make a 550 mile trip to Louisiana
tomorrow.
