Please use proper punctuation when writing. It makes the thread much better to read and understand.

I also moved this to the proper forum section.

sounds like coil packs... you have 2 one directly in front of the plenum the other is mounted sideways on the driverside about 12 inches away.

While the car is running, unplug the coils, one at a time. Probably your issue. If not, your ECU took a dump.
