On the NF/NG engines, like Ben said, ignition!
But it is almost always the wires. If you haven't replaced them
in a while, and/or they are not the Bosch OEM ones, dollars to
doughnuts they are the culprit. BTW, I tried other wires. DON'T!
Bosch OEM are the way to go. They solved my problems instantly.
