Ignition coils are really easy to replace and generally not to expensive. I'd say just DIY.
You can likely check the voltage at the coil and see if it matches the spec from a service manual. The problem could also just be the boot. If you don't have a volt-meter, or a service manual, or have any clue what I'm talking about... then you could just buy a new coil. Each coil usually runs about $75. And don't forget to buy a new boot too!!
try swapping the coil to another cylinder then clear the fault and try to reproduce it again. read the fault and if it followed the coil to the new cylinder then you know that the coil is faulty.
