    O.k so the other week i noticed the Stato was starting to shake at idle whenever i was stopped at the lights, its being getting worse so i changed the spark plugs and leads but now its no better and it feels like it has a miss.

    Check which cylinder has the miss by removing each lead one by one from their coil. The one that makes no difference to the idle will be the culprit. If they all make the idle worse, then it is most likely a TPS or fuel issue.
