Default misfiring after plug change

hi i changed my plugs the other day and my car was fine, until now the cel came on and was misfiring, then stopped for a bit then today it has started again and seems to be staying put this time, Ive checked the MAF sensor was working and thats fine so im thinking coil packs, just wanna rule out all the other stuff first, anyone a clue? cheers

You say set ready to go? by whome? straight out of the box there not always correct. set them to 0.65 and pull the rubber sleeve back on the coils and check for cracks
