Smoother idle?
so after replacing my spark plugs, cap and rotor im still getting a bit of a misfire, stumble, just inconsistent idle. like every 3-5 seconds the vibration will blip a bit and i can feel it. VERY minor, its not horrible. im just being really picky and want to know, what ELSE is there to do?
my valves are tapping a bit, i could do a better job next time. but does this affect idle?
idle is set at 750. timing is right in the middle.
what else can i look into? cleaning sensors? which, how?
88 Si intake manifold, so i think its missing a sensor or two that may or may not matter.
i just want it to PURRRRRR....

i replaced my #1 plug wire with a spare i had laying around and it does seem a bit more settled. so i guess that had a lot to do with it.
plug wires are definately important!
and i have a new set of NGK's in my hand. but i wonder about the quality of these wires now... when i pulled the old NGK wire off, the plug at the distributor came off!

Re: (Natural Aspirations)
the engine is in pretty good shape actually. i call it my cherry engine. got it with only 45k verified miles in 2002. used it for 2 years and stored it and just recently put it back in. so cant have too many more miles. but i did do a season of racing in those 2 years.
smog is great with the engine btw. its still almost 20 years old of course.
