You really need to get a diagnostic /some live data when you are trying to start the car to see what's going on.

You say you replaced the 'plugs', but did you not also replace the coils?

The coil packs are service items like the plugs and don't last forever. These can cause starting difficulties, and even prevent the engine from starting altogether; misfiring cylinders, increased emissions, incomplete combustion, misfiring, rough idling and loss of power during acceleration. If left, they can also cause damage to the catalytic converter.

"OM"? Not sure what you mean, but if you mean part number, please see below:

We can help if you need an original genuine part number, part diagram or factory build sheet and can't already find the info you need on the Forum. For this service, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then provide your vehicle's VIN in full, which will be masked automatically when you submit your post.
