One possible theory is that the wires in the valve cover cover going to coil 
packs have cracks in them and may be close enough that they are touching - all 
the wires going to the coil packs were cracked in my case - I reinstalled 
them with heat shrink and in some cases replaced the wires. 

This may also be the cause of some output stage failures.
