There are 2 screws that hold the ignition coil in place and a clip. This piece needs to "snap" into place. Because it gets dirty and or by age the firmness of the clip is lost over the years thus less contact in the electrical connection.

Same here
I have the same looking thing on my SC300 and i just cleaned the hole that the wire (metal thing) goes into. But I'm sure that didnt make a difference because it was NOT dirty anyway.

Just so you all know, there's actually 2 coils - one on top of the motor towards the pax side, and one near the driver's side exhaust manifold towards the front. Unless the coil is bad or you had a lot of corosion on the contacts, I really don't see how this could make any noticeable difference in power.
