Does my idle look irregular or am I just going nuts?
In the video I'm showing my idle that I call "fluctuating". If you then listen carefully I go to the back of the car and you can hear some misfiring through the exhaust.
Would a burnt exhaust or effed intake valve have any play here, or is this not enough to think that?
BTW want to thank Jordan, (DocSlow...) for all his help.
FOR those who ask... here are numbers
at idle in block 002 engine load is 16.5-18.0%, injection timing is 1.70-2.04ms it fluctuates MAF is 3.94-4.06 fluctuating....
with unisettings i then lowered the fuel enrichment @ warmup... and the car got slightly steadier, but not much
16.5% idle load, 1.70 ms, and same G/s, basically the same thing.
Numbers from block 032
032,
-1.7%
-7.0%
-2.3%
-8.6%<ul><li><a href="http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Straight-Piggies-Twin-One_184801.htm">http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Straight-Piggies-Twin-One_184801.htm</a</li></ul>

I think it might be. Mine looks like that and it runs perfect. That needle will never be perfectly
still like a civic or something. Have you been having problems like misfires tripping a CEL at idle?

My idle doesnt hunt at all but I'm only APR Stage 1.
I think the idle gets increasingly harder to control when changing injectors and MAFs since the resolution at low g/s is less than with the OE MAF.
