It will occasionally misfire at random intervals. I've replaced the plugs, cap, and rotor. The plug wires seem good. I think that the timing and idle speeds are where they should be at. I just got done doing the timing chain and everything else that goes with it, but this problem started before I tore all that apart. Any ideas? Re: Misfire on idle.

That can lead to a rough/erratic idle if that is off. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Misfire on idle.

So I took it out for its first test drive with the new head and cam. Now it is really hesitating. I think it must be the TPS as you had mentioned. I will take it off sometime tomorrow, because it must have gotten gunked up when I cleaned the throttle body. I was being dumb when I didn't even think to take the TPS off before cleaning it. Thanks again for all of the help. You guys are great. Re: Misfire on idle. [Re: Mikeweb] #773270 12/19/06 07:09 AM Joined: Nov 1999 Posts: 1,049 Pasadena, CA.
