Mac,
If you could get to Badger's Mount just off J4 on the M25 on Sunday we could scan you there.
You don't say what engine you have. If it's a DOHC engine the first thing you should check is the Fuel Cut Off loom - the wires leading from the spark modules under the centre cover. see http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/dohcloom.htm
If its a 12V then we can't scan you because its OBDI not II - but check the rotor arm, distributor cap and leads. If these are old they can have a marked effect on idle.
If it's a 24V check that the plugs are tight (but not too tight) and the condition of the HT leads - make sure there's no water inside the spark plug housings. Further investigation may reveal a problem with the HO2S sensors or the EGR - and this would need OBD to find.
