I really hate my car sometimes, well it still seems to be misfiring, and the idle is sorta weird, when i was sitting at the light the idle was up to 1,000rpm, so i pulled over and adjusted it down, as soon as i drove off again and came to another stop, the idle was back up to 1,000, and 800 when the cooling fans are on, and when the cooling fans are on the idle gets even worse, and its still misfiring pretty bad so im thinking maybe its the ISC or clogged injectors, anyone with some first hand experience?
 
clogged injectors would make your car stall, and ISC has to do with your AC, it adds about 100-200 RPMS, maybe more, when your AC is on to help to keep it from stalling out

ok im not sure if you had another thread about this or somethign cause the way you asked that it kinda seemed that way, but when i had my misfiring problem it was the wires. the thing idled like hell, shaking and idleing high, and when driving it would misfire like 2-3 times per gear, but smoothed out after 3k rpms. then the CEL came on, then it started flashing at me OMG . thats not good. im not sure if someone already threw that idea out there in another thread if you had it, but when i changed my plugs and wires everything was fixed. if that sounds like what you have try it its not that expensive. :thumb:
 
yea ive changed plugs and wires, and it still did it, and somebody told me it could be the ISC, or clogged injector, but the rpm's were kinda weird too, would idle at 1,000 even if i adjusted it down
