Swap the none firing coils with two that are firing. Does the problem move with the coils or stay in with the same cylinders? If it moves, it's the coils. If not it's deeper in the ignition system.

follow the steps in service manual for testing the ignition system using the proper test equipment.
I do not have a 200 so I do not have a manual for it.
You do and should
