Check the resistance across the terminals would be a good start.

Is it a misfire issue or something else?

Coil packs *usually* break down at higher rpm, not always but usually. Yes

What sort of rpm would you say they break down? The reason i ask is I till got this hesitation fault on idle (but it goes after couple of seconds or if I just touch the throttle), but sometime it hesitation round 2rpm .could this be a coil breaking down?

More than likely the lambda. Yes

Could still be lambda, parts can fail at any time. Especially cheaper pattern parts.

Should get it tested first, do you have a friendly mechanic that's got diagnostic tools?

As Jim says, testing it first will be the best option. Yes

If you do need a new one then yes, Bosch is recommended as these are OEM fit. Smile
