2G 1996 Eclipse GST ATX Idle problem

[Adihalimi1]

Hi, my name is Adi I'm new here and I'm looking for some help. I have a 2G Eclipse GST auto that's having idleing issues when I put it in reverse or drive and also seems to have a missfire in cylinder 1 that is not showing any codes on my code reader.

I've replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, idle air control valve, cleaned the throttle body and had the fuel injectors cleaned with replaced baskets/filters and o-rings on them, flow checked and fixed but I still have the same issue. The car idles rough and when I put in in reverse or drive if I don't keep the RPM's up it wants to die and dies 80% of the time. This only happens when it idles in gear, when I drive and keep the RPM's up everything in good no problems runs as it should.

PLEASE HELP

are you sure the ticking is the plug wires? is it possible they are bad, we typically reccomend NGK plug wires for these cars. if the plug wires are "arching out" where you can hear them they may be causing the idle issue under load. try to swap them out for a different set. there is also suppose to be a ground cable hooked to the intake manifold behind the throttle cable on top of the intake manifold, check to make sure that ground cable is on the manifold and the coils arent overloading the ground

should look something like this. is cant remember but on my auto dsm i think it can also be bolted on the side of the intake manifold next to the vacuum nipple above and to the right of the coil

Hi, i have changed the spark plugs i bught ngk sparkplugs, i changed the sparkplug wires also they are duralast gold, i have same issue before and after changing sparkplug wires, i havnt touched the coils yet, but personaly i thinks its the sparkplugs itself sparking sporadically but it only happens when engine is under load from the fan or lack of vaccum, yes i checked the ground and it looks good and connected to the intake manifold just like the photo you posted.

Just another thought....have you opened the ecu to see if the ISC drivers or the capacitors are okay?
