I've had this car for 3 1/2 years and done nearly 40k in it with nothing major. Drove it to cardiff on thursday which is about 95 miles from my house and got to 11 miles left on the tomtom and when driving in a 50mph limit, I realised that i'd lost alot of power. It was misfiring and wouldn't pick up. Did this for about 2 or 3 minutes and then picked up again as returned to normal. I drove it later on that evening and then drove it back on saturday night with no problems.
It did something similar before when i cleaned it out under the bonnet with gunk and the hose and it wouldn't run properly until it dried out . The only thing is it has been totally dry and still is so having read up online it seems the ignition coil pack may need replacing. It also said that if the coil pack went faulty it could fry the ECU which I do not want to happen!
Is it worth replacing the coil pack? Everything else on the car is good
