Bigern, I just had one doing the same thing to me. The alternator was charging at almost 17 volts. Was eating coils and ignition modules. I put 7 coils and 3 ignition modules on unit before I figured out the alternator was overcharging. Im not saying this is your issue but it might be worth checking. Also check engine grounds.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
