Limped it home (only half a km) and sounds like pile of shyt. Starts fine but runs like crap. Got RACQ on the way around to see what they can see. It still has the original valve springs in it and has 124,000k, could one of these be busted??

It does smell very fuelly while running, so could be right.

That will tell you if its a coil pack/plug or something more sinister.
