Default Can a fellow WRX owner help me please?

Hello!
Well i just bought a wrx not to long ago and i dont really know much about these cars. I have a problem with my wrx. Its a 2002 wrx and it seems to be misfiring all four cyclinders . Cars runs rich and has no power. So i was wondering if any of you can help me by coming over and swapping out 1 or 2 coilpacks so see if that fixes the problem. Because then i can go ahead and order them. I need to take out my car to TN for college in 2 weeks. If anyone can help me that would be great than you!!

Timing issue? Look up how many degrees off TDC your car should be and find a friend with a timing gun.
