   Will more than likely be the coil pack mate. Diagnostics wont tell you if its the plugs, coil or injectors it will just say cylinder ? misfire. It will only say if its an injector if there is a short on the wiring to earth.

   Does it take a while for the power to kick in when you put your foot down mate? And does it gargle like a dirt bike on idle with it slowly going from around 800 to 1200 revs and back and forth?
   If so that's the same problem I had with mine, tried coilpack and it didn't solve it, changed lambda sensor and the problem disappeared, running perfect now!
