  1. Just got back. They ran the smoke test, and there's no leak. But it still has the rough idle. I mentioned the ringland/valve issue and they don't do that there. They didn't know of any shops off hand to send me to. The one they USED to send people to (up the road) shut down. So it's not a leak, the MAF, coil packs, injector, plugs, or wires.
  2. I had a cylinder 2 issue earlier in the year and it was replaced because it had melted. At the time they replaced all the spark plugs with OEM. When I brought the car in a few weeks ago they said my cylinders, plugs and wires were good. Expensive as in $500 and up. But with the amount of money I've put in to this thing for repairs over the past year, anything else than an exhaust leak will probably send me to the loony bin.
  3. Well like I said in this thread (or was it another? IDK) I had P0171 code and the smoke test revealed it was coming out of the BPV. That's why I ordered a new gasket, and RTV'd it and let it cure. I got another code shortly after for cylinder #2 and everything came back ok. Figured it might be dirty injectors so I got them cleaned. A week later, back to the stumble/rough idle. I just spent about an hour and a half verbally abusing my engine while removing the TMIC and TB hose double checking every line I saw. Everything was snug and clamps are now super tight. Still rough. Hopefully it's a vacuum leak. If it's ringland/valves, is that expensive?
  4. Well the stumbling came back about a week after the fuel injectors were cleaned. It's getting rough enough to the point where I know it's going to throw the code soon. My guess it that it's the exhaust leak I had. Thought I fixed it with a new BPV gasket and RTV. So either that's the failure, or there's another underlying cause. In park or neutral, it RPM's at about 700? But when I'm stopped it drops to that line that's right above 0 on the speedometer.
  5. It was $119, but they did the air intake as well. Took them about an hour.
  6. I had the fuel injectors cleaned. The car runs smooth again.
  7. P0302, the fun never stops with this car. I had this code earlier in the year, and they replaced my coil in #2. It was all melted. We replaced the spark plugs with OEM's, cleaned the MAF as well. CEL was off, but the rough idle was there. Everyone said check for a leak. Eventually I got a P0171 and ran a smoke test. BPV leak. I purchased a new gasket and some RTV sealer, and thought I was done with it as of yesterday. I let the RTV cure. I take it for a spin, and still have the CEL. I figured it was vacuum related and the ECU would adjust it self. Today I get the P0302 while pulling in to a parking spot. So I have no REAL idea if the BPV gasket worked or not, so I can't rule out a vacuum leak unless I smoke test or something again. But the code was a no show. BUT as the P0302 was in play (I guess that's how you'd refer to it), my idle dropped from 1k to almost half. 1k is ok, but still missfires. When it hit half, I knew something was wrong. This thing sounded and felt like it wanted to die. Just as it smoothed out, the CEL came on. It seems to run better (but still bad) with the CEL on, than it did before the P0302 code. If that makes sense. I'm taking the car in tomorrow. Anything specifically I should mention aside from having new plugs and coil on #2?
