Car not running right??
Just put my rocker cover back on, started the car, and it seems to be hunting/chugging??
It was running fine before i took the cover off. Am really worried about this.
My mate reckons it could be a faulty coil pack. How do i tell which one though??

I think this is right. 
On the side that you disturbed disconnect one of the coil packs with the engine running. If it's faulty it won't effect the running much it will still be rough. If it's ok then the engine will stall or run even rougher. You can double check by reconnecting it & then disconnect the other one. The same then applies rougher means it's ok & no change means it's faulty.
Did you disturb the spark plugs at all?

Are coil packs prone to break down???

Cheers lads. A local engineering firm near me has a EJ20 engine left over, so will see if they still have the coil packs.
How much should i be paying for a 2nd hand coil pack (max)??
