Hi All,
Spent the day and the best part of $200 to find out that one of my coil packs was faulty (car turns on and the electrical system warning came on and the engine was shuddering). The Auto electrician replaced it and all was good until I started the car this morning and the same problem came back. Has anyone got any idea before I take it back staying WTF DUDE? It was a second hand coil pack if that help, but it was running fine yesterday after being fixed.

assuming its the same cylinder that's gone. (can check this buy unplugging each coil pack with the engine running, you unplug one and nothing changes ie still runs lumpy that's your culprit cylinder)
could be something to do with the coil pack wireing to that cylinder. an ecu fault, ignitor problem, spark plug problem, but i'd start with checking the wireing especially the brittle little connectors on top of the coil pack
