Any ideas on where to start with this. It only seems to happen when idle and when I am driving it seems happy.
Any ideas please as how to narrow this down?
Check the plug leads, there may be something lose after you disturbed them changing the plugs. Did you check the plug gaps, usually they're about right out of the box but you never know.

re: Misfiring help?
Strangeness all over.
I decided to clean up the sparks in case it was the grease on the tips. When i took em out off em had little bits of metal on the thread so i wiped it all off cleaned around the holes applied grease to the thread again but not the tip and put em in. I got to number 1. I went backwards for some reason and the tip looked burnt. You know when you get that weird colour on it.
Anyway thought that was wierd so put an old one in. Started it up took it round the block and got home listened out at the exhaust it sounds fine. Now knowing my luck it will go wrong again but as it stands the car sounds fine.
Had it running for about 20 minutes and no unusual noise at all from the exhaust. So I am hoping this done it.
