Default Re: Next up: a miss and a "surge"...

I'll take a stab here...

Plug in DataMaster, do incremental throttle increase with the throttle stop screw, and I guarantee you get the lope @ 1.6% Throttle Opening, until 2.4% TO, which Marc H says ALL LT5's have.

That COULD account for this:
"When I start the car cold, it settles down right away but seems to idle a little roughly."

and this:
"Lastly, when coasting to a stop with the car in gear, it seems to "surge" slightly."

TB secondary butterflys might also be letting in some UN-accounted for air, exacerbating the lope, and confounding diagnostics ...

WOT performance almost never tells anything of substance in any car...
