Stu, re looms do you cut the multiplugs out of the Escort looms very often? I did mine just as a matter of course, but interesting to see how many actual problems you've seen?

Yes pal, drop your plug gaps to 0.5mm and see if it goes away. If so, you probably have an ignition system issue to rectify. Fitment of wasted spark will rectify it permanently.
