 The problem is in the secondary ignition. I would replace the plugs, wires and cap and rotor if it has them.  It is possible to have a bad coil but make sure the rest of the stuff is good first.

 No, I wouldn't expect so. Load usually has no bearing on the primary side of the ignition. What year is this?
