Welcome in. Common problem with these and a symptom is a misfire.. are the coil packs.

I know this might sound like a daft question but where do you find the coil packs.

On mine they are under the plastic cover, sitting right on top

On yours can you see the spark plug leads? If so, follow them backwards from the plugs, and you should find the coil packs

What do the coil packs look like do you have a picture of the coil pack which would be really helpful. Thanks.
