The power source comes from the ignition switch. Two things can happen. Cheap coils or heat. You might need to relocate the coil. I had to do this on a couple of my 4X4s

Fender is the usual place with a longer coil wire

i had like 3 or 4 go out in a row. havent had much of a prob in a while but i am thinkin it was heat causin them. sometime once they cooled down they would work again sometimes they wouldnt

Being a former ford man, that was always a problem with a coil in the valley on a V8. I finally moved mine and had no more problems.
