right from the start......

working on a ford but its the first time i usually work on japanese cars but i got this for the misses so anyway when you start the car the engine management light stay on permanently now ive done a DTC check on the car but it comes up clear.....

when driving the engine feels sluggish almost as if its choking unless higher up in the revs.....

my obvious instinct is that its ignition based as the guy i bought it said it needed a new coil pack and it feels like it does, any ideas? ive checked theleads and they seem to be ok could this be caused by a misfire or a lead or two connected wrongly in the ignition to the wrong thing??

any help would be great.....
