So, after a little further investigation, it looks like my problem was a loose ground wire. Watch the following video for details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrLbsIz81pU. Turns out the nut grounding the harness to the valve cover was loose enough to cause a short/open circuit on the ignition coils. Snugged it down and no more problems so far (knock on wood/fingers crossed). I have driven the car all over town this afternoon without problems and couldn’t get it out of the driveway yesterday. That is why I was asking, no sense spending a $100 on a deductible on an extended warranty when I can snug a nut down for free and took 10 seconds to find and resolve.
