Misfire at idle after VTEC? :\
So I got a strange problem. My #1 cylinder refuses to run at idle but ONLY after VTEC and ONLY sometimes :\ Like maybe once a week...
If I give the car a few revs it comes back to normal, no CEL's nothing.
Car has new spark plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor, everythings pretty well maintained. When I pulled the plugs the #1 cylinder was a diff colour to the rest.
Strange thing is the car usually runs mint as, no loss of power, no smoke, nothing. Any ideas?

Re: Misfire at idle after VTEC? :\
what was the color difference between the #1 plug and the rest? you may have a clogged injector if it was more of a white/grey color then the others. which would indicate the #1 running lean.
