Default Idle/tick over

The car runs fine, holds revs etc etc ,but the whole car twitches sometimes. Like when you rev it at stand still.

Any ideas?

This started on mine after I completed the 90k service. I think it might be spark plug gaps slightly wrong (didn't check before I put them in!). I've set them at 0.7 (turbo without cat) according to the manual and it's not too bad now. I may try them at 1.0 - 1.1 (turbo with cat) if I can be bothered to remove them again.

Ok, might check them, although it has just had a 90k service! Just hope its not something like the coil packs or engine mounts going!

Everything is changed at the 90K service, as it includes the 45K items and the 30K items; plugs, fuel filter, air filter, cam belt etc.

I definatly started looking at the most obvious components first, no point expecting the worst untill you've done some investigation.
