you should really be using NGK PFR6B gapped to 0.7mm.
The coilpacks tend to fail on your year of car.. anything like 4years or 80k..
this will give a misfire or hessitation on full throttle etc..
so it is possible changing the plugs has disturbed a failing coilpack and the plugs are fine.. I have not used the plugs you mention myself, but know the PFR6B are very good.
The coilpacks sometimes crack on the ends or break down inside.. if you do replace them you need to do all four at the same time.

The plugs i mentioned are supposed to be gapped out of the box to 0.4 mm and they were the ones the garage fitted at the last service i had.
Are these ngk pfr6b's gapped to 0.7 mm out of the box as standard or do you have to re gap them to 0.7 mm?
