The Volvo/Chrysler ignition can have intermittent failures with the +12V supply to Coil #15.

As a test, jumper +12V direct from Battery to Coil #15.
Leave it there when running (it's just a parallel "redundant" 12 volt path), but disconnect it when the engine is off.

Try it that way for a while and see if the symptoms go away.

Check the wiring over by the left hood hinge too.

Also check the single wire (white or gray) & connector leading to the ICU (comes from Coil #1).
