My idle use to be fine, then I had the head rebuilt, and swapped in a new mitsu headgasket (composite). I also put in brand new NGK spark plugs, and brand new NGK wires. Now I have misfire like crazy, even in the upper RPMs. I know my ISC is pretty much dead, I guess it also may be caused by some intake leak somewhere, but I've tested for boost leaks multiple times to find nothing. When I put the timing belt back on, I couldn't manage to get the crank and cams completely 100% lined up. The cams and the crank were off by only one tooth. Would this be enough to cause rampant misfire all across the RPM range? Or should I keep looking for boost leaks? I will be doing a compression test soon to see what that looks like. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated!!!! Thanks!
