Are you saying that one coil stops firing alltogether sometimes? Does it run good when it is working?

Yes, i was just looking into it a little and it appears that it uses one module for all. It would really have to be the module to blame as that is responsible for signaling the coils as to when to fire. There really isn't anything else that can cause a situation like that.
