Hi mike patrick,

Thank you for the donation.

When problems are intermittent, it is difficult to diagnose the problem. Since problem has not recurred, there is a possibility the cause was a loose connection somewhere and might not occur again untill much later.

The only thing that you can and need to check for would be connections of wire harness and the ignition coils. Other than that, you would have to wait for the problem to occur to get into diagnostics.
