Could the fuel filter be leaking? Its under the car just back from the drivers door. Stick your head under the car there and see if you smell petrol / can see drips on the filter...

it shouldnt be coil pack sensor, the ecu tells it when to spark, the crank shaft sensor, tell the ecu to tell the coil pack to spark, i think. i dont think itl have a cam shaft sensor, coolant temp sensor shouldnt be the problem either i think, the car sounds to be runnin rich, not really sure hwo you cure it, theyl be someone on here thatl be able to tell you, if it was leakin youd be able to see/smell if it was, leave it runnin for 5/10 mintues on a dry place, move it forward and see if there is any leaks,
