Light skip in motor, New Plugs, coils checked out good. No check engine light on.

 

Going to assume given lack of specifics engine is misfiring at all engine speeds/temperatures/loads ie idle through to up steep hill.

If a search turned up nothing, I'm not aware of any inline five cylinder specific, known or popular cause on this.

If it was me I'd start w/ electrical by wiggling wires all over the place with necktie removed and engine running looking for a hint.

 

Have you read this, it is the road map for those new to I5 H3s...

Acts like it wants to stall/rough idle -No CEL -What To Do:

 

Skips when at an idle. Cleaned MAP Sensor. If MAP sensor was bad wouldn't it throw a code.

 

Yes, if MAF element was DIRTY it would skippity doo dah and not throw a code.

 

Cleaned Map Sensor, still have the skip at idle. Would a dirty throttle body also cause this to skip?

 

 

You telling me to replace map sensor?

 

My map sensor is still oe @91k and still idles smooth as glass.
Also, I keep my beer ice cold, and drink it fast so it doesn't get warm.

 

Follow the list on the thread I linked. Clean a MAF with MAF cleaner ONLY.
