Thank you Scorpio_man.  I think you've hit the nail on the head for my problem.  My Scorp 2.0L 16v M plate is having poor idle at the moment.  After changing the usual suspect, spark plugs and HT leads. I noticed a poor conditioned wiring loom (i.e. bare wire) connected to the top of two of the spark plugs. I hope this fixes the problem.  either way it needs changing.
 
Thank you once again.  This is a great forum.
