Nope. Hard enough the first time. If it is a failing TFI, it will continue to fail intermittently, w/ more frequency. Heat trigger's failure.

However, the PIP sensor in the distributor has almost identical symptoms if failing. Intermittence, w/ greater & greater frequency until it fail's completely.
