Electronics is my livelihood, and in my experience 'lectric stuff often times fails as a function of heating.

The coils on our LT5 are shared between two cylinders. So, if it is a coil failing, then two cylinders would be displaying the same problem, me thinks.

8-5, 1-6, 4-7, & 3-2

So, if it is one cylinder only, then I would put the coil at the rear of the line and look at plug wire, plug, injector, etc.
