Started the car up this morning pretty early , it was cold and misty outside but the car sounded like it was firing on 3-4 cylinders

But cleared after a few seconds , hope thats not a sign of coil pack failure

Coils are dry and plug wells dry .

This thread is useless without codes...

Are codes stored if EML has not displayed? I imagined not.

No codes no eml . Hasn't done it today , will re check for any loose
connections . Are supposed to get a code for coil pack /s $:-\$

Yes,you should get misfire codes,0301 through to 0306 depending on cylinders detected

No Eml can also point to no bulb, which itself raises a code...

Get a code reader from the bay There in your price bracket

Pedal trick does the job for getting codes But wont clear any.

In my day, on damp mornings with older cars, it was simply a squirt of WD40 and off you went.

Did the WD40 make the hot tubes glow a bit more so they ignited the fuel?
