Did it do it with the old plugs in ?

If it did not I would put the old plugs back in and see if it cures it.

Even brand new spark plugs can be faulty

It sorts as sounds a bit like a coil could have failed - maybe it got damaged when you replaced the plugs - just a thought!

Nope no damage went down to a garage and got it put on a comp came out with the following codes
p1564 throttle valve control
p1142 load value below lower limit
p1545 throttle valve control system
p1136 system too lean
goin to clean egr and throttle once more as cleaning the throttle yesterday made it a tad better.
will post some pics of this while im cleaning as i can find a post on this entire forum on how to clean egr or throttle (with pics)
