    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.

    Have you used a spark plug tester or a real spark plug to visually witness good spark at the plug gap? Some YouTube videos even demonstrate finding sparks going to ground and not to the plug caused by spark plug wires that vibrate move wiggle etc ~ they test at night or in a darkened area...

    Hope the fix is quick & cheap ~ good luck...
