By driver do you mean the DFI module under the coils?

Leads or Plugs, if you remove both leads of the one coil and crank it you should see it spark post to post if it doesn't then something wrong with the dfi or coil. If its sparking at the coil then its like i said at the start.

Then you need to look elsewhere. Leads on the missing cylinders. Also clean the plugs and terminals on the DFI module and the CAS (crank angle sensor).

Yip look at the leads and plugs as well the pins inside the connecting harness for wear or bent pins on the DFI
