Entirely possible.
Another member had a condition where several cylinders had a weak spark, but, the rest were fine.... changed the crank sensor, problem gone. So, it appears that the signal the sensor sends isn't an 'all or nothing' affair, like I would expect from a hall-effect switch. (that was kinda surprising......) But, as your is consistently weak, I tend to lean more toward the coil. (not to mention, the coil is cheaper, and easier to get to. ) If you decide to replace the sensor, get one from the dealer. Yes, they are more expensive, but, they actually WORK right.... the same cannot be said for the aftermarket fellers.

If they were the problem I would still see strong spark off the primary coil correct?? Because I Don't see strong spark there either.

Sorry about not catching that.
So, back to the SECONDARY of the coil possibly failing.
They are cheap enough I'd consider just swapping them - one should be under $45 locally (taken by doubling the highest price one on a major web seller, and then rounding up ... )
