howdy again folks

i changed my dis pack over the weekend as the car was missing like mad

it is, however, still running rough/lumpy, particularly at low revs & is hesitating slightly on acceleration, it smoothes out a touch as the revs climb but it's clearly not quite right & nowhere near as smooth as it should be  the gear stick is shaking quite a bit at times & feels like it belongs on an old massey ferguson tractor  :-?

my next step is thinking that i should change the plugs & leads asap but as there is weeping from the left bank (as you look at the car from the front) cam cover gasket should i really be doing that as well and cleaning out the breathers too at the same time?

i 'paperclipped' the car earlier and had (amongst other expected codes to do with a recent battery problem) a code 57 (ICV) which would point to an issue with the engine not breathing properly wouldn't it? (also backed up if i have interpreted what i have read about the cam gaskets giving up due to breathing difficulties)

sorry if i have gone on a bit but i wanted to get as much detail in about the issue as possible

any advice on this will be greatly appreciated  , obviously all the work above needs doing but if i can get the car running smoothly and work through them bit by bit rather than in one go it would save my patience (well definitely the wife's thats for sure)

It could solve a lot of problems.
