How bizarre, you've just described my car completely!
But after fitting all of those, I just changed the coil instead and that solved my problem.
As for those who have 'replaced many in the past'.....what a shocking (!) waste of money......
tell me about it! I replaced the coil pack on a friends Ford focus - immediately after doing so the car was magically restored back to full power and the misfire gone.
I wish I'd not wasted the money on the coil as clearly the fault had fixed itself ;-)

Don't know what the experience is in the UK, but here in the States these modern coil packs seem to fail with surprising frequency. The original coil on my 58 MM 1000 is still going strong!

Dunno about that, our 2000 Chev has over 300,000 kms on it and never had a problem w/the coil pack.
My '93 Ford truck has umpteen thousand unknown kms on it and it's still going strong also.
