Nope,... That's probably it's guts leakin' out... I'd swap in a new 1...

Yep, sounds like a deadie.... Had exactly the same problem on my old V6... coil leaked its guts out and overheated... Would run at low speed all day, but the minute you asked more she popped and bang like there was no tomorrow... Took me a few hours to find too.. with the coil being buried at the back of the engine :facepalm:... New coil, the engine was back to its smooth self.:D..
