Do a pedal trick (see Paperclip and pedal trick post in Maintenence Guides).

Guessing you'll see a P030x code(s).


My initial reaction is coil pack, but see what the pedal trick comes back with

As TB says Bob, do pedal trick, it will tell you the exact code and which cylinder is playing up, if it is an ignition issue, usually is.  For instance 0301 is cylinder 1. 0305 is cylinder 5 and so on. Link here,http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687

Same type of problem with mine. Ended up being no 5 cylinder misfiring,cause of the problem was oil in the plug well. Changed plug now running fine and changing the gaskets this weekend. Do the Pedal Test :y
