i changed one coil pack and it was sitting just below 1000rpm for a good few min rev a bit then it died also one of the spark plugs are rusted at the end where you plug the lead into and noticed the spark plugs was last done 2011 and only coil 4 has ever been replace done a ohms test all passed fine on a-b but none gave a reading on b-c.could i need new coils and spark plugs when it was running the higher the revs the more the gear stick shaked
