Default Strange miss.........

I have been working on what I thought was just a rough idle. After cleaning MAF, IAB, throtle body itself and setting the TPS to .098v it was better but it still has a little miss in it though. It's like it's in the system not just the motor because the volt meter droppes with each miss and with it getting late tonight I noticed the light under the hood blinking with each miss also.



Anybody have any thoughts on what to check or replace?

Check your battery connections, (corrosion, tightness), loose ground wires, etc. Are you running pulley's? Check the charge on the battery. If it's below 13.5 on a long haul, trouble. Mine did the same thing when the regulator in the alternator was going belly up. (you'd be surprised at how little voltage drop does to systems). Do the simple things first. It really doesn't sound like something major. With all this technology, it's the basic stuff that usually is the deal. Good luck.

Battery and ground connections are good. I am running stock puley's. I will check the alternator and see what happens.



Thanks.
