Hey there everyone. I have a small problem i havent yet been able to fix. I have a weird idle to say the least. It does not surge like the other posts i have read. I can here my exaust sort of gasp for air or stumble a little. It is really hard to explain but it doesnt seem to really be affecting driveability too much. It will happen say like every 3 to 5 seconds but doesnt seem to have a pattern. I have ran fuel cleaner through my system a few times and at first it seemed to help a little so i thought it had something to do with that. I then checked the isc and tps sensors. they seem to be working. the biss screw does not change the "muffling" when tightened and loosened. ive blocked off the egr valve. i have changed the fuel filter, plug wires, plugs and checked the mas sensor. I am really stumped! I have noticed two weird things: my stock boost gauge will sometime flutter up and down (and yes i have an aftermarket one too). Also if it touch the top of my #1 cylinder's spark plug wire plug it makes a noticable tick unlike the other cylinders. I checked the compression of the cylinders and they seem to be ok too. Im not sure if either of these things have anything to do with my problem??? Im guessing a bad injector or bad coil pack maybe. If anyone can help i would GREATLY appreciate it!!! Sorry for the long list.
 
well, my boost guage would show 19 inches vac at idle, took it to the shop and they ####ed with the cam angle sensor, and it shows 14 inches at idle, and it flutters like you said, like the needle is just shimmying.

mabye check that
 
Thanks for the idea, i didn't even think to check that! I'll get back to ya on it if it works.
