Welcome to the BBA forum 
either one side of the coil pack has gone or a wiring fault or an ecu problem.
Best thing to do is get it read for fault codes with a scanner & see what fault codes come back 
PS a few more details ie engine code,size etc
Rob.
Scan it, Smoke it, Scope it....... Don't just poke & hope it

NO,do not drive it,there is also a possibility it has or could damage the ECU. If you can get a coil for it,replace it along with new quality spark plugs and hope the ecu is ok.
