The problem is caused by a faulty coil on plug connector that result in water intrusion and corrosion. Disconnect the connector from the coil and inspect for corrosion.
If you find corrosion, check the pigtail for a faulty pin that’s allowing water into the coil connection. Clean all the corrosion from the coil and pigtail connection and apply a light coating of dielectric grease to the terminals.
To determine whether the coil is still good, move it to another cylinder. Then clear the trouble codes
