    Try refitting the old plugs and see if the fault is still present.

    I take it you've put the coil packs back on properly?

    Also, did you use the correct plugs? GM/Vauxhall ones are as good as any and will be the correct ones. Also cheap as chips.

    Yeah fixed it was a small piece of rubber that had fallen off the coil pack, it was stopping the current being passed from coil pack to plug thanks for the help.
