After a year a screwing about trying to fix a rough idle when cold (plugs, leads etc etc), I decided based on an a real old thread about another issue, to increase the plug gap from the recommended 1.1mm to 1.3mm. The car now idles perfectly. Maybe the extractors, PULP and a few degrees extra advanced timing made it want more gap to burn better. *shrug*

Seems to run just fine though I haven't gotten up it. The transmission changes (up and down) almost seem smoother but that may be my imagination.

So realistically openning the gap will cause a bigger spark and then the computer will compensate with a better performance..i hope..i..m gonna try it.thanks.!!

Yeah a bigger gap will give you slightly better performance and spark AS LONG as the coil can dispense enough energy to bridge the gap. If not then you get no spark unfortunately. The recommended 1.1mm is probably the "safe" maximum gap.
