    A coil taking a crap? A bad rocker arm? Burned or bent a valve?

    I have the same problem, it drives perfectly fine, just at stop lights, and idling it seems to have a miss in it, and shake a little. I havent figured out what it is, but im going to try my new injectors, and a TPS

    It may just be a dirty injecter not spraying, just spitting fuel.

    i don't think a bent valve or rocker because it only happens sometimes just out of no where...the plugs i pulled looked a lil rich but not bad...but that's my tune i want it rich at WOT..it's at like 11.8...i think something electronic cause it just comes and goes....i bent valve/pushrod or rocker would be a consistant miss
