How about the ground. If its not completely grounded properly it will likely to cause those problems, make sure that you scrape all the paint away from the area it is grounded to

If not grounded properly you will be routing power through the ground loop thus causing interference. With any interference in electrical systems they will not function properly, which will lead to improper spark in your case. The absolute best ground on any vehicle tends to be the negative terminal on the battery. Just my .02 cents
