    Default vx v6 starving??

    ive got a 2001 vx on idle it seems to be starving for air, but when driving it around low rpm to when you put your foot down it misses. Ive changed the crank angle sensor, pulgs, heat sink board under the coil pack, ive checks the resistance on the leads an they are ok, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pump relay. Is there anything other thing ive missed that could cause this to happen? thanks

    Just because the resistance on the leads are OK doesn't mean they can't be breaking down under load. Look at the leads where they touch going through the convoluted tubing, are there chalky marks on them like whitish grey burn marks?
