    2.4 miss at idle

    My MM has had a crazy miss at idle since I purchased it. I've done all the usual things, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter, cleaned valve body and even run a tank of injector cleaner through tank with no difference. Today I installed new injectors, still have same weird idle miss...but now gained a little hesitation right off idle. It took a while to get the computer to figure out the idle after the battery reconnect. The truck has 109,000 miles on it and is a '94. What should I do or look for next. Compression or leak down test. Think it is a valve? Its idling at 800 rpm in video.

    Testing with a vacuum gauge ? I only know that an engine should have good vacuum 'n steady needle reading... I think it can detect vacuum leaks or valve leak..?

    Well tested compression, 180 on 1, 2, 4 and 150 on #3. Timing was 10 btdc, but would dip down to 5 then back up. Vacuum shows a steady 18 at warm idle.
