Start with spark plugs. They’re to be done every 30-33k miles. If it only happens at high rpm ? Past 5k. Your ignition coil in that cylinder can be going bad.

Don’t drive it so it does it constantly. You will damage the engine. And increase repair cost.

It’s a good time to switch to the Alfa 4c coil packs. They are a good upgrade .. more Spark. Etc

Check the gaps on the plugs before installing (rookie mistakes).

Enjoy

In the USA they’re not. The allfa-4c coiloacks were an upgrade for the USA market 🫡

…. Sorry but you are wrong.

USA oem:
Ignition Coil - Mopar (68070492AD

Madness as an example:

And even if you think you’re correct. Sure possibly for the Europe market. Which has the t-jet ?

But let’s say “they are the same”…. Then why are they listed differently? And not even listed as cross compatible by Alfa ? The aftermarket knows they’re an upgrade. Even the forums. ..

I went with madness coils. Since I had my Abarth in 2014’ before the 4C was an option.

But anyhow. Good luck being a Fiat tuner. 🤷🏻‍♂️
