the thing that is really driving me crazy is the car running really good.

Do you have a warranty from the dealer? Is so, have it inspected by the N.R.M.A. and take it back to dealer with any warranty faults that are found. Would be a lot cheaper than the path you are going along.
Doesn't N.S.W. have strict laws for consumer rights that used car dealers must abide?

Type in - coil pack - in the search box at the top right of this page and you'll get all the info you need on coil packs and how to test them.

A few posts down this page is a story about someone who cooked the engine slightly and although it runs really well, it idles roughly. Maybe this happened to your car! Just a thought

thanks for all ur ideas guys... anyways i tested the coil packs as a mechanic did it for me he removed 2 wires from each coil and ran the engine the spark is not jumping at all which means its all good. his suggestion was to check the vacuum reservoir tank which is behind the glove box. so i went home pull apart the glove box but all i can see behind it is a black box and a white sticker on it says (AC-TB) i couldn't find any vacuum lines or hoses its all electrical wires... any ideas plz?????

mate i did cleaned both but even if i have a faulty IAC valve then the car will not idle smoothly and a faulty IAC will not cause the engine to shiver or shake from time to time at idle...
