well i just tried one last dealership near by and they say all my numbers look fine on the Tech II scanner, but they said they dont know whats wrong with it, they were stumped, which leads me to believe its a mechanical problem. something a master scanner cant pick up.
im assuming here but only assuming, that its possibly something in my valvetrain, possibly an over torqued pushrod stud, or mix matched rockers and intake with intake pushrods or exhaust with exhaust pushrods mixmatched...
im not sure its just a hunch....but yeah im gonna definetly contact bmorezcmunee's tech first, see what info i can go from there, and then i might move to redogs tech next.
this isnt gonna be some walk in the park if im gonna strecth this far from home i might need a place to stay since i highly doubt its just a problem thats easily found, and since its so close to christmas im pretty sure it will be hard to find someone

The rockers are interchangeable. That should not make a difference.

rockers are but pushrods are different between exhaust and intake. if they were mixed up tho you would know. at kleast one cyclder would be dead and the pushrod would be bent. unless the car is running horribly, it shouldn't be pushrod related.

If it were mixed pushrods the thing wouldn't run.

i know im not saying intakes with exhausts, im saying exhausts with exhausts or intakes with intakes, cause the engine is going to wear a specific way and no cylinder is going to have the exact same wear as the other.

I agree. I always just dump my rockers in a pile when I disassemble. Has never caused an issue. Is all your injector wiring ok? I had one corrode causing a terrible idle and severe miss while driving.

have you checked your sensors(TPS, IAT, IAC, Ect.) one of them could be faulty. had a friend that went through 3 TPS with a situation simialiar to yours before it went away.

Well I know of a few cheap hotels just outside Philly in Bensalem, PA, but they are "eff Shops" but at $29 a night.
Just a thought
