would check basic things like getting fuel and spark,also check cylinder compressions,if you can get the fault codes then post them up here,have you tried a set of plugs?

Any time a coil pack was replaced by my mechanics , they also checked the plugs automatically . If a plug was not firing , it would foul up , needing cleaned or replaced .
