well remember a misfire can be number of things but ingition consists of air, fuel, and spark you need all three in the proper sequence for proper ingnition if any one is off you could have a misfire

so... i just ordered my new spark plugs and should have them around 1pm pacific time (2.5 hours from now) which i hope will fix the problem.... i do remember on the side of the plugs i put in for my build were the LSJ one's i believe, i havnt pulled them out yet, but im still trying to figure out why the plugs i have now will suddenly make my car run so shitty?

Because they are to short.

Nice to finally prove to someone that the vendors on here are raping people on prices of parts....seriously ottp 38$/sparkplug....what a rip off

so i swapped out the spark plugs, and that fixed my idling problem...... i took it out and it still fucked up for a second but went away (i was pushing it a lil to see what would happen).... shes running fine right now as long as i dont go into full boost, ive cleaned the maf and its just drying right now but holy crap it was dirty!
what i got

what i had compared to the new

i changed my injector seals today and my interceptor went from reading 8-20 misfires per cycle at idle down to 0!!!! thats right, 0. zero. and when i decelerate it was reading as high as 44 misfires. today the highest i saw was 4. i know that the interceptor is not even close to 100% accurate, but it gives you the idea. Rough idle is pretty much gone, one or two more updates on my tune and they should be gone.


CLIFFNOTES: if you didnt change your injector seals when you put in your larger injectors, give it a shot. it made a difference for me.
