QUOTE(KiT TeUnG 2549 @ Jul 2 2008, 12:33 AM) Is there an MIL? Did yu check to the boots of the ignition coil? The 2 other wires? Is the spar plug gap within specs? I am not sure what and "MIL" is. The wires I are fine, I inspected them when I replaced the spark plugs. The spark plugs are platinum so there is no gapping required. When inspecting the boots of the ignition coil, what am I looking for as far as defects?

Yeah Platinums sure are non gapping but i always check with a feeler gauge just to make sure , i just about always use platinum NGK or Nippondenso plugs but i always check just to make sure because sumtimes the boxes get accidentally dropped , etc and the tips sumtimes mis adjusted. On the boots just check for whiteness or arc lines anywhere on the boot base or the upper part where it seats near the coil , sometimes the high tension lead spring inside the boot that works as the conductor mis seats when re installing the coil on the cam cover. Yuve said all vacuums are on , tightlly , no hoses are cracked, the spark plug wires are in good condition , the metal leads inside teh boots and the boots were okies etc. Seems yuve covered everything else i think.
"MIL" Malfunction Indicator Lamp , check engine light , if the timing was a little off teh computer should have picked it up and set of the check engine light , But yuve checked the timing marks on the timing belt already. And im sure yuve never messed with the reluctor ring on the back of the crank sprocket that that the crank position sensor picks up off of. I cant think of anything else , yuve checked all vacuums , etc. There seems to be as frum wut yuve described a slight miss at idle . The ignition timing im sure is not the key , the belt would have to be a bit off of its mark for that , but then yu would have issues all teh time , it would not drive fine , down the road it would still miss and have loss of power.
Have yu replaced yur PCV valve? is the check valve in it working?There are no audible vacuum leaks? A small vacuum leak can cause the issue yu have or sumtin like not so much one of the 2 coil wires id think but teh boots on teh coil themselves , the high tension leads specifically that are in the boots that are the conductor between the coil and plug.
