    i had something that sounded like a miss and it was a blown vacum hose? idno if you checked that. also I had a gasket on the intake that was leaking and this gave me a rough idle almost like a miss. dno if it helps :P give it a try

    mine was the one under the throttle body. silly that I missed it :P but yeh like my car would dip to like 300rpm then bounce back up to 1000 felt like a miss. what first threw me off was a week prior id done the plugs and leads. but yeh check ya hoses bro

    Clean the throttle body! Just gave mine the big 200K service - o2 sensors,plugs, leads , etc but the thing that made the most difference was the throttle clean. It was running fine before ( I thought) but is just way smoother now. Easy as to do - plenty of info on here.
