I'm going to guess, Coils??

On my way home from work today I stopped and went to my local parts store, go figure. I then got in my 1999 right away I could tell something was wrong. When I got on it the power was there for a second, and then dropped right out. The idle was rough at a stop, and very choppy at take off.
I got home and rev'd it up and it was popping and shaking pretty bad. I opened the hood looked at the engine at idle and it was obviously misfiring/skipping. No codes because the ride from the store was only 2 mi. It is definately parked until my coils come in. This is an issue Nissan should really address, I'm almost better off sueing the tobbaco companies for giving me cancer. LOL!! Wish me luck...

Coils follow up! Questions

Which coils should I get? Or is it the coils?
I have a intermittent choppy throttle only on idle Drive.(not on Park idle)
Few times I got choppy take off's from idle on stop or red light.
NO codes
I changed the spak plugs already(I had 22k on coppers) put in NGK platinum OEM.
Reset the ECU after the plug job.
Problem still there, still NO code.
Tryed to test the coils from explanation on other post, not much results all around 1.4Mohms
except for #6 at 1.8Mohms.
