    At times car will just all of a sudden have no power and exhaust sounds funny like struggling. If i turn car off and back on its fine, sometimes the engine management light starts flashing too.

    Any ideas what think it is?

    Get the fault code read mate and that should point you to the problem.. Sounds to me like a coilpack issue but could be something else so worth getting the code read

    if its a coil pack fault it might not come up on diagnostics.it'll register as an injector problem,most likely

    would it matter if I got a grey plug coilpack instead of a blackplug coilpack?
