thats what i thought ive done them to 0.7 but now since the change its started missing but it only seems to do it at idle not when driving it sounds like i slight miss but shouildnt be doing it with new plugs ,ive took the crank sensor out all so so i could complete my oil change by cranking the engine with out it starting to get the oil round could this have a part to play with the engine missing,,?

ok, thanks Tiny
As it's an early model, the coil packs as you would of seen go on top of the sparkplugs, it could be one of these coil pack going down, I had a similar thing happen to my MY'96 when I changed the plugs. The coil packs can get fragile over time, so now you may not notice a very slight missfire under load (but noticable when idling), I didn't until the car was mapped by Pat Herbourn and he picked it up.
