I re-gapped my plugs the other day, to 0.7mm since I'm running on LPG. When I fitted them not long after I got the vehicle I left them at the standard 0.9mm, and I didn't really think that closing them up by a tiny fraction like that would help.
It's made a hell of a difference. I could hear straight away that it was idling better, and while the massive flat spot is still there between 2000 and 3000rpm on both petrol and LPG, it's a lot less pronounced. Definitely something worth checking.
