Yeah, happens all the time...

Yesterday mine developed a slight miss when I was warming the car before time runs. I cleaned it with 600 grit sandpaper. After doing that, on the first time-pass it ran like a raped ape. The car ran awesome all night, made 9 passes in all, two time runs and seven eliminator rounds...

The MSD reluctor will corrode and the cap & rotor will show arc wear, 600 grit works on both...

After having to clean the cap several time, I'll replace the cap & rotor, and start over...
