Most likely the connector which feeds the coil (and the loom across the back)

Looks like I've found the problem.
Loose plug in coil compartment
That would explain it not hesitating all the time 
But which plug/wire would it be I.e that controls the fuel pump or some other fuel related component. Because I giggled all 7 plugs and now it's fine?
Thx hope to be in Orlando.

Fuel pump would be an obvious one to check (incl inertia switch and the wiring to it, rpm relay - check for loose pins indicating a dry joint inside), coil wiring and all connections under the coil cover are worth checking too

I have already drained and cleaned out the fuel tank and refilled it with hi test gas. With no improvements, I changed the fuel filter and plugs about two years ago. Could it be the plugs or a fuel component like the CPR?
