My car stumbles at WOT like its not getting enough fuel etc. Seems to be worst when the car is warmed up. It even shut off on me while driving yesterday but i was just in a parking lot. Seems to take a while to start once it gets warm too. Also I am not very mechanical when it comes to cars but I cant even find the coilpack or packs? Thanks

I tried to follow them but they all seem to go towards the REAR of the engine?
