What could be causing my rb to misfire at idle? I changed the plugs but no luck. When I drive the car, there is no misfire that I can tell. The motor is stock other than a fmic and full 3in exhaust. Any ideas? I am thinking that I will check the coil packs next. I tried searching but it seems that most people have misfires in the higher rpm's.

you can try unplugging coils and seeing if it changes exhaust note...then swap them around to see if a particular coil is bad.does it missfire when dead cold or only after warm up, if so then that would sudgest the ignitor.

I tried unplugging coils....but nothing really changed the idle. It does it while cold and after warmed up. Like I said though, it boosts great and everything...just idles rough.

you can also try unpluging the injectors one by one and listen to exhaust note change.

I noticed yesterday, that it only does it after the car has warmed up. Coils? I need to go check the resistance on the coils. Any orther ideas or suggestions?
