Default Rough idle

My Disco 2 idles rough in the morning after it has rained. A couple times the check engine light comes on but will reset itself in a day or so. Any ideas? I took it to the dealer and they cannot locate a code for why the light is on. Go figure. Yes, I did have it in while the light was on. OOPS, I was reading in the modifacation forum and should have switched to another for this post. I will try to delete it.

What year, how many miles and when was it last tuned including wires?

64k, regular dealer warranty service up to 55k. I haven't replaced the wires yet but that would surely be a good place to start.

You are ready for a 60K, has it been done yet, are you getting any fault codes?
When you go for wires, order the 8 mm Magnacor's and let us walk you thru installing them, you'll save around $450 in labor.
Look at my service list on the top of the Discovery section.

Thanks Mike. I am going to do the wires and plugs. Walk me through it. BTW, the link that was given on this forum for rebuilding my front driveshaft was excellent. I printed it and put it in my tool box for further reference.
