Misfiring Problem

Over the past couple of months two of my coil packs have gone, and were both replaced by recovery vans. I replaced the other two a few weeks ago so that I didn't get the same problem again. The main misfiring issue has stopped, and I can drive as normal. However, after about 3/4 miles of driving, it starts to come back, but not as bad as it did when the coil packs were broken. As I press the accelerator, the car is really sluggish, and has blips where the revs drop slightly, just for a fraction of a second. The further I drive, or the more people I have in the car, the more often the drop in power occurs, making every journey slow and irritating. Has anyone had this problem, or does anyone have any advice on what to do?
