Wouldn't be the idle control if it's the same when revved. Check plugs but could be coil pack.

Allen screw is damaged already, if you can't get pliers to it try tapping it round with a punch or cutting a slot in it. Failing that it's out with the drill.

Probably heat shield but it could be a disintegrating silencer.

Btw welcome aboard :cheesy:

I'd suggest fitting a new coolant temperature sensor, as it can be the cause of misfiring...
