If you have a code go to an shop that has the computers to read the history that made it throw that code. Definitly the cheapest route. Or just change your coil and plug.

Mine did that this week, I replaced the plugs and coil boots and it went away! Plugs are a pain and take about 2 hours just gotta be care full not to pull the treads out... I sprayed PB on all of them and let it sink in for about 45 minutes then they came out fine, and make sure you blow out the hole

It could be just the coil boot or the COP unit.

I had a issue that is close to this. I ended up changing plug boots and plugs. The problem turned out to be the wire that supplied power to the coil pack. It was broke, I had to cut it back and solder in a new wire. No problems after that, maybe you have a broken wire that is sometimes not giving you spark. Maybe you already fixed it?
