Running Rough

Hi all
hope someone can help me out here, been on a 300 mile round trip with out a problem, until I got to about 1/4 mile from home.
Going round a roundabout the car started to miss and splutter but didn't cut out.
Car starts but sounds like its running on 3 cylinders ??
Car runs a bit better (still missing tho, not as bad) if I take the breather pipe off the top of the rocker cover.
No warning lights on dash
Checked the air filter- clean ok

By the way its a 1.1 petrol 52 reg.

Many Thanks Gazza

Spark plugs? Idle control valve?

My knowledge of engines is basic at best.

Hi all
Just a thought, if it was a Fault with the Coil pack, would the EML come on and would it produce a fault code even tho there's no EML on

Thanks Gazza

Hi all
thanx for the replies all sorted now,
Changed the plugs-still the same, so replaced the coil pack which done the trick.
After removing the old coil pack I noticed that one of the contacts was a slight copper colour where the other three were silver, maybe something for the next person with the same problem to look out for.

Thanks Gazza

Inded, misfiring, coil packs are often the first port of call!
