Haven't really had any problems since then. Until about a month ago when she started missing every now and then on startup. About a week ago she got MUCH worse. Since then I have flushed the tranny, changed the oil and filter, changed the coolant, new plugs and wires and adjusted the idle following the correct procedure down to 750-800(it had worked it's way up to 1100 at idle)
The same plug that had disappeared then was a little dirty this time(2nd cylinder) and the rest looke purty as a pie. Did a compression check because I thought it might be running lean in #2. NOPE 2, 3, and 4 were all between 120-130 and #1 was @ 90.........gulp. Hold on let me test again I thought....yepppppp same results. Thats odd #2 plug is ugly but #1 cylinder is the one low on compression. Since then she still idles rough and missing after being started(but only at random times) Sometimes she fine others not and once she gets going she feels like she is running ok although I can kinda(barely) hear it aroung 22-2400 rpms while accelerating. I have an K&N PVVC intake, Longtube header(thanks cro) with full exhaust. My EGR is not capped. Any thing else that may help diagnose the problem? Thanks ALL
