Need help with rough idle
I did and the map is working like it supposed to. I even installed a new map
I?m all but grasping at straws here, however:
1) what are your fuel trims at idle? Is the STFT and LTFT generally within +/- 10%? If greater than +10, you could have a vacuum leak, if you have less than -10% you could potentially have a leaky fuel injector. If you have a leaky fuel injector, it could cause fuel to drip while the car is sitting, which could cause the engine to run rough the first few seconds before clearing itself out. Do you smell any raw fuel/rich mixtures at startup?
2) if your fuel trims are abnormally high (something like +20-30% on both the STFT and LTFT), your upstream O2 sensor could be bad and giving false data, which could fool the PCM into thinking there is a vacuum leak.
3) how old are your O2 sensors? Are you able to see their signals/readings on your scan tool? Is the upstream sensor switching back and forth between rich/lean signals, or is it flatlined and not giving much of anything? If you can overlay the two of them, take a picture of them and post it here.

BTW, I still have the original assembly line installed CAI intake & still starts up with a smooth idle!

short term fuel at idle is between 0-3 fluctuating
long term shows 2- both average around 1.03
i don?t smell any fuel at startup
the o2 sensors are new i installed them 2 weeks ago and yes I can see their signals
air fuel ratio is 14.7
so today I changed my spark plugs and coils and right off it?s start to misfire cylinder 5. I unplugged the coil while it?s running and it didn?t make a difference . I checked I am getting 12.45V and ground and signal are good. I did a spark test and the the spark was sparking. So is it my injector wasn?t working properly and now that I changed the sparks and coils lt failed ?

#5 VALVES STICKING:>Service Bulletin

Ill change the injectors tomorrow and update
So the misfire was a bad Injector. I replaced all of them and no more misfire but still tho when I turn the car on it runs rough for few seconds and then smoothes out doesn?t matter if it?s hot or cold like my initial post. All the stuff I changed and swapped and still does it. What else could it be?
