Moisture ? Do you pressure wash the engine ?

It is true that moisture (like engine washing) can cause arcing and damage the coils. Another reason is "too large of a spark plug gap" . Since the spark has to jump a larger gap , the coil overheats and gets destroyed .
You have not mentioned if your spark plugs (and rubber boots ) ever been replaced . If not, you may want to consider .
