It can also be the rail. I've seen where
the rail has failed internally and that was
causing the misfire.

Ok, but for one coil power two cylinders I would think there is one
input connection on the coil to rail and one connection going to each
plug with a connection at each plug, no?

Haven't seen the setup yet.

IIRC, five wires.
three ecu grounds, two ecu battery.
Plus and one connection for each plug
