I had same problem,I took sparkplug out,cleand with wire brush thenchecked for a proper gap on the plug.I then made sure it had good spark by placeing plug in the rubber connector, and while holding just the rubber part of plug, place other end by metal part on saw and pull as if to start, you should see the plug sparking, if not you have internal probs. if you have good spark take a cap full of gas, pour into plug cavity and try to start again, by the way my problem was dirty plug and wrong mix in my gas. good luck.

I have 1952 ford 8n and will run 5 minutes then start missing and hesitating could the coil be getting hot? Its 6 volt coil with internal resistor but tractor was converted to 12 volt.

try replacing the coil with a straight 12 volt coil and not a resistance coil as the missing could be from a overheated coil
if the coil is at fault then when the engine starts to miss then then coil would be hot to the touch

I got a 1991 chev lumina 3.8 car i have a miss in it that i cant find u can start it up dont miss drive it five six miles clear up dont miss a lick then it start missing cut off a little while start it up...

You could have a bad injector, ohm the resistance of each one. they should all match. I am thinking maybe 14 ohms but could be wrong, check specs for your car. you need to at least narrow down which cylinder then check for spark on that cylinder while the miss is happening. some of these 3.8 engines would melt the plastic intake manifold at the egr passage and leak coolant into the cylinders, are you losing coolant?
