No, but you can still get that symptom

With LH, you should have the "Volvo/Chrysler" ignition, which means no Ballast resistor.

But you can get this same symptom from resistance in the Brown wire circuit feeding the Coil Primary terminal # 15. You can check it by running a jumper fron Battery Positive directly to Coil #15.

If it starts with the jumper, post back and I'll have the wiring figured out that may be the problem.
