HELP with ignition coil!

Hey guys. Car is a '90 900 non-turbo 16v (@120K)
This is a new one for me...
This morning my car started but then stumbled and died. After a bit of cranking it turned over again - I checked it out and saw that the plug/distributer wire to the ignition coil is arcing. (This is the second time its done this - only when the dew point is about 100 (sleet/fog) and its exactly at freezing temp.) It wasn't jumping but just sizzling at the boot to wire joint.
Is this a bad coil? Plug wires are new (changed since the last occurence).
Could a bad coil be the cause of my poor gas milage and acceleration? (i had been thinking O2 sensor, and was about the pick one up) Idle is generally fine on cold weather days, but does waver a bit, not to any rhythm...
Thanks
Bryan m
