    Hey everyone,

    here are the details : 02 gp with the ssm90 3.8 pulley, tb spacer, zzp stage 1 tb, fuel logs, autolite 103's, zzp 10.2mm wires, zzp 2.5" downpipe with high flow cat, k&n cai.

    my issue: every once in a while, not all the time, i will come to a stop and the car will be idling. i will get what feels like a misfire, some of my passengers have even commented on it, above idle everything is ok. Now with a scan tool there are no codes reported.

    does anyone have any ideas? kind of annoying when your sitting in the car

    thanks

    Mike

    These car are well known to misfire at idle when modded. Its pretty normal for it to happen.

    X2, mine did the same till I started tuning myself. You really need a Plog for that 3.8 pulley. Id just get headers since you have that tiny downpipe aswell.
