Hi, welcome. I'd be checking for fault codes first. 1.8 is obd compliant and a cheap reader should be fine. Another easy thing to check is the springs in the coil packs where it fits over the spark plugs. Pull them out and give them a slight stretch!! This sorted one of my 1.8 Freelanders out.

Seems it maybe a mass air flow senser take it. It runs as it should.
There isn't a MAF on the K series. A misfire at idle always warrants a compression test, as suggested on the other identical post.
It's best to post only 1 thread per fault, or answers get lost.

The compression seems fine. It was sensor I unplugged i''m not sure to what it was it. It idled high but no misfire.
