Rough Idle

Anyone have a rough idle with GM perf Wires and Bosch Platinum +4's? Misfire trouble code P0300?

I changed fuel filter and ran fuel system treatment through...still get the rough idle....only 13k on the clock!!!

I have the New AC Delco Professional Iridium plugs to put in...hoping that may solve it????

If that doesnt do the trick I may go back to a fresh set of stock wires... :confused:

It could be a bad wire, or a bad plug. Most likely, though, is a wire that is (was) not completely connected. Make suren they are fully seated on both the coils and the plugs.

I see you lowered your fan temps, so I am assuming you have a programmer of some sort.....have you tried going back to stock and then reloading the program??? Had to do this before when the car "got lost". Fixed it for me :seeya

Check your coils with a timing light to make sure they are firing correctly.

Idle relearn - turn key to ON. Pull fuses 16 and 23 under the hood. DIC will indicate ABS error and you should hear a ding or two... Turn key off, reinstall fuses, start car and let it idle until it reaches proper operating temp. Drive for 30-50 miles varying speed and gears, etc. Should be all there is to it - just did it myself over the weekend.
