have you checked your intake manifold or leaks? or even the coil pack? how many miles are on her?

2nd the coil pack, pull each plug wire while shes running and make sure it sparks the tubes strongly and often.

actually the number one thing that takes out a coil is a spark plug wire or bad plug... anything that makes the coil work harder then it should have to to get the spark where it needs to be...
