The other day i pulled away from a crossing , I was doing about 3000 rpm in first gear, as i pulled away i heard a pop which i thought came from my engine. After this my car became rough when the engine was idling (the car was vibrating heavily inside). My car is now also sluggish on acceleration. I thought it was my head gasket or a valve had popped as one of my spark plugs had oil over it., however i stripped the engine and my valves look fine and the gasket dosent look particuly damaged.

Does anybody have any idea of what it could be ? I dont seem to have lost to much power and my engine still starts fine but it is defintly not running correctly. cheeers

Coil pack? i had this problem and it was the engine mount drivers side the one under the ecu.

I dont think its the coil pack mate as i only bought it 12 months ago brand new, does a dodgey engine mount make the engine run rough ?

It did mine strangely enough, it was jumpy.
