hi after buying and changing the ingition coil and leaads it still doing the same cutting out and missing so its been put on a dinostic test and its down to the cambelt sensor being faulty

Hi check engine light came on .Diagnostics says coil pack faulted. New coil pack put on but same fault still showing. New plugs and leads but engine missfire on no 2 and 4 cylinders.Been suggested maybe ECU fault and recondotion one could be £400_£500
any ideas what else I could try before spending that amount. Thanks Juin
