There have been two service bulletins issued on the coils. The first was
to
replace any failed coiled, the second was to swap out the whole lot of
'em.
Have you had the coils replaced? I think with the recall it would be a
freebie, even though you're over warranty.
Given that, you're about due for new plugs. 100K is just about the
absolute
limit on the plugs and you're 90% of the way there.
Recommend you contact local dealer and determine if you're entitled to
coil
replacement. If that doesn't solve the problem, then plugs are plan B.
