Default Rough Idle with clutch out

I'm experiencing a rough Idle when the clutch is engaged and the tranny is in neutral. Its not really bad but definately a noticable difference when I let the clutch pedal out. The transmission and clutch all seem strong when driving. Also, whats really weird is that its worse when the car is completely warm. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could be causing this. Thanks

Default Your OTS tune is trying to compensate for the extra load caused by the clutch and isn't entirely

successful measuring the proper a/f ratios. Everything is fine.

Default at worst, might be a good idea to change your spark plugs and then if that doesn't help,

see if EPL can help you out.

Default I just did the plugs like 1k ago

and two coils last weekend cuz 1 and 4 were misfiring, I'm gonna replace the rest of the coils this week. If that doesn't work I'll talk to EPL and get it re-tuned then. Thanks for help

Default Not sure what the gap is, Their NGK's one temp. cooler.

I pulled the cylinder 1 and 4 plugs when I did them but they looked decent, some carbon but they didn't look fried or anything. I just did the rest of the coils today and it seems a little smoother although I wasn't able to do a TBA when i cleared the codes because my scaner sucks. Also, the times the the CEL has come on it was in traffic when i am maintaining the same speed, not acceling or decceling, which leads me to believe there is something wrong with a/f ratios. One thing I did notice is that one of the copper connections on the wire to the MAF sensor is missing. Don't know why, i'll have to look into that also, might have been my problem all along.

Default check that connection and get it fixed first.

you can do a TBA by leaving the key in the ON position.
