Default possible fuel pump / coil pack / spark plug problem

fellas im in need of your help. on saturday my car was hard to start it would crank and sputter for about 10 seconds then start and i got a p0357 code which is misfire through coil pack 7, can’t feel a misfire driving it. it’s only when the cars cold that it’s rough to start when it’s warm it fired right up. next day same thing but i got p0357 again and p0354 which is misfire 4 coil pack, i can’t feel a misfire when driving it this day either. leading up to today (monday) car wont start just crank, and today got p0352 miss fire coil pack 2, p0354 and p0357 again. haven’t had time to get in the car to work on it, but i had to get picked up by a buddy to pick me up for work so i need my car to be back and running! i have 8 ngk spark plugs im gonna change in, and going to autozone tomorrow to pick up 8 pack of coil packs and a new fuel pump. i’m thinking it’s a fuel issue but i may just replace it all and hope i have no more issues in the future. videos should be in order from saturday (first day) to sunday (second) to monday (last day)

NGK is the right choice for plugs but you may want to reconsider the trip to Autozone.
Duralast (Autozone's proprietary brand) is among the worst available.

Yeah, it's not likely 3 coils would fail all within a few days of one another, especially on different banks.

thank you good sir, i’ve been looking at the diagrams you’ve sent, and they’ve helped locate some things. in your opinion, what do you think is the problem based off the issues im having? id rather have a sort of plan of action rather than going in blind per say.
