Ok here is the car a 1998 ford escort 2.0 automatic. It has me scratching my head It has a "miss" at idle and in low rpms. And does idle rough. But it drives fine. It has no check engine lights or pending codes and the readyness is up. I have replaced the sparkplugs and wires. as well as the coil pack from another car with no change. I have been driveing hopeing it throws a code so i know where to start looking. Any ideas guys?

What does the misfire data show at idle? I would install a vacuum gauge, and see how it acts. You may have a valve that is not sealing.

Sounds like you have a burnt valve or it's not seating properly. Do a compression check FOOL!

yea a valve will do that, the hatch i used to have did that and still ran very rough at idle and was driven home, any noise while driving at all or just at idle?
