    So I've been trying to track down an idle midfire for months (if not years?) now.

    I want to get tuned by Pampena but I want this fixed first.

    It misfires at idle (just a slight pop in the exhaust). It never really concerned me when I was on the stock ecu, but ever since I put in chrome (obd2) it throws a p0300 all the time. If I reset it, it comes back in 2 drive cycles. It doesn't seem to misfire while driving (or not to my knowledge).

    List of things I have changed:
    New coils
    New PTU
    New wires
    New plugs
    Rebuilt engine (wiseco pistons, lapped valves)
    93 ecu -> chrome ecu (misfired on both)
    vehicle has a DLI, runs the same with or without it connected.
    relay for the coils to get b+ when key on
    New injectors
    No vacuum leaks
    New crank sensor (broke the old one rebuilding the motor)
    valve timing is on.

    The vehicle has a maft and a 3.5" maf in blow-though just before a 90* at the throttle body. To my knowledge, my car had the misfire when it was also on the maft+safc combo, and I do remember ray had to pull out like 12% on the safc with stock injectors to get it to not run lean. I am thinking maybe the maft or maf is bad.

    Is there something I am missing?
