if there is a loss in power,that main you have a cylinder is not working,and your car works on 3 cylinders,get it checked by diagnostic software like PPS 2000,and you can know exactly which cylinder is stopped without guessing.

well usually the stopped cylinder caused by a failier of the spark plug,so when you know which one,that means the spark plug is not working,which leads us to the coil pack,so you have to connect it again,to make sure that all the spark plugs are working except the one with the stopped cylinder,you can see that by the color of the spark plug head,if it's black or dark gray,that means it's not working,if it's white or light gray then it's working fine,but you will find ONE spark plug is not working for sure.
