Coil pack query..

[tech1889]

Right ive read the coil pack thread in the maintenance section but.. and there's always a but.. My 'VERY' reliable AUM engined 1.8T popped a coil pack off the spark plug 2 days ago.. i scanned it and got missfire codes.. I pushed the coil pack back on and still the same.. so i put my old plugs back on that i know work.. still the same.. So i then tested each coil pack individually and cylinder 3 which was the one that popped the coil pack was a strong spark.. but cylinder 2 was a weak spark..

Also the car is idling fine but when driving up to 2k its a scooby and then for some reason 2k is fine ?? 

So my question is can coil pack 3 be fine and from popping 3.. 2 now be on its way dead ??

these have gone up alittle think i paid £25 each for mine mind you that was 2 years back  but hope your sorted now dan i would also check the torque setting on your sparkplugs too as if they are not at the correct tight torque you can get a popping coilpack occassionally
