yes it does sound like a misfire....probably will set a P0300, which won't tell you which cylinder is misfiring.......

Chances are, plugs and wires will solve your problem.....pull wires one at a time off the coil terminals....may find arcing/carbon on the terminals......usually can just clean/sand the terminal, but the wires should all be replaced and with new OEM plugs....

If you still have a misfire, then coil output will have to be checked with a spark tester.....
Thanks,

I will take it to one of those places. It seems cables are not crazy money, i guess plugs won't be either so i'll have a go at those and see if it makes any difference.
