I think it's as simple as one of your wires coming loose from the coil lugs.
That's what you guys need to check... don't assume it's coil strength and bump up the power.

That's what it was for me.

I am not a fan of the way the wires connect to the lugs, they're just not tight enough.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Just an FYI: I have over a thousand plays on my machine, and I had this problem early on. I took the diverter scoop out and reinstalled it with Loctite. Never came loose again. BUT...the wizard began shooting it STDM again. Upped the coil strength, and it fixed it. BUT...now he shoots it SDTM every now and then. Perhaps I'll go lower on the strength this time and see if it helps, but it's a continuing problem for me.

check your coil lug connectors

I just don't see any way the Wizard scoop could be that dirty, it's one of the least used coils in the game.
When I checked my lugs too, they seemed ok but just a little loose.. that's all it takes apparently to lose enough power to make it weak.

I wouldn't take anything apart again if the Throne has worked correctly the past 30 times or so.
