Your car will sound ruff as arseholes and shake on idle you wont get full power and it will be stuttering.

Best way to check when the engine is running get some rubber handled pliers (just incase) and pull the HT lead off the CoilPack one by one (making sure you put the last one you took off back on! LOL) and listen for a clicking and look for a spark, if its not sparking or it seems very weak, its new coil pack time the engine may stall a couple of times during this as the cylinders that are fine are running the engine when you take another one away the engine struggles to run and cuts out.

If all seem fine, check the HT leads and spark plugs

Your car will misfire intermittently and feel down on power. It will be more prominent under load e.g up hills etc
