Spark plug problem...need advice (how to fix)

I changed my spark plugs but in the process, I kinda broke one of those black coils that go over the plug... I broke it right in between and the spring shows in the middle...

Car runs kinda rough because of this, please advice on how to fix...

thanks.

you can't fix it. You broke the coil. It's not going to fire the cylinder correctly. You need a new coil. How did you break it? All you do is pull it out.

crap happens right , if you have time, go to a junk yard, they will let you get them for like 10 bucks (maybe cheaper), but i wouldn't drive with a cylinder misfiring, could mess up your new spark plugs..maybe even more

His new spark plug is going to get gas on it and his car will run rough, but nothing bad will happen. I drove for two weeks with a cylinder not fireing because I was too lazy to fix it.
