Default a lilitle rough every 40-50 mile and only when hot

Hi, every 40-50 mile and when hot the engine goes a litle rough a second or two. Its like one or more plug cables ar off. Its not a big problem, but it has happend 4-5 times. I have new rotor, plugs and cables. Could it be the coil? Its all mechanical so if something is wrong it must be the rotor, rotorcap, coil or cables?

Another cause of a misfire is an injector. You could have one hanging open sporadically, or not opening.
