Default Car missing down low.

Could you list all the reasons my car would be missing at idle, I know the most common problem is the spark plugs, but could you list anything else that would cause the miss.

plugs, plug wires, coil pack(s)...


is it only missing at idle, or under load too? are you getting any codes?

I'd bet anything past what MOBE said is a tuning problem.

Ditto... had bad miss down low.. turned out to be a connector on #8 wire to plug... causing Arc. Good under load, but not at idle. Changed plugs and got some Taylor wires. She is happy again.

Thanks for the help guys, it runs fine under load, guess I'll go play with my plugs and wires some more.
