Ok quick update.
Tonight the car died on the side of the road. This is just after a quick but not outragious launch. So things may have shifted around a bit.
So... took some doing but managed to start it and keep it running to get home. I was only about 1.5 miles from home anyway.
So get it home and idle is back to the surging and lower than before.
I let the car sit while I thought for a while. I then took the air cleaner box off (found the K&N filter is dry and likely letting past too much crap but that is another story) and was inspecting the fit of the MAF (that is just below the air box correct? And.... hmmm... it is way loose. I could just pull it up and out of its connection. So... figured I was home! I tightened the connection and put it all back together. Adding in some bolts the PO forgot to put on and started it up. Crossing my fingers for a miracle... and ... dou! No surging... but still rough idle. There is a definate misfire. I just do not know which cylinder it is.
I guess I have to pull the plugs and inspect each. I have already gone over every one to check for good connections. Might have to just replace all the ignition wires and plugs. They are Nology wires. Anyone have any experience with these?
Also might take the MAF out and reseat the boots again to make sure I got them right.
Ah the fun of it all. Plus... I still have to inspect the flex plate and the associated play discussed above.
Oh and I will of course be going over the other suggestions above. I have done many already.
Must sleep now....
