missfires detection. even if p300 is off, if it detects too many misfires, the ses light will flash, just not throw a code.

you need to desensitize the misfire system. esp if this is at low load/idle. The tuner disabled p0300 so it wont store the code.

if you wanna really trip out watch cyl 1-8 current misfire counts in efilive

Yellowbird, did you get your idle fixed? If not the offer still stands if you want to bring it by my shop. I would also be happy to look at this problem for you. Just give us a call and we can get you in.

Thanks
