Bosch Platin Plugs, should I give that a shot to cure IDLE only misfires?
So I posted about a week ago an issue with misfiring at idle. My GG Injectors are turned a full 90* each injector, so that's not the issue. I don't have any boost leaks, that's not the issue. When the shop was fixing a big misfiring problem I had back 6 months ago, they did 6 new coilpacks, new STOCK plugs, new coolant temp sensor, ICM's are good... and I only get the misfires @ idle now. So im thinking that the bosch platins may be a good choice now that im full stage 3 and running mucho boosto. what do you guys think? give it a shot ?

Well, 032 is long term fuel trim. So its like you have to drive for a bit for the numbers to...
car doesnt have to be running to check these, just go to 032, and my numbers were a bit off, they were...
B1 Sensor 1 Adaption Idle...-2.6%
B1 Sensor 1 Adaption Partial...-.5.5%
B2 Sensor 1 Adaption Idle...-3.2%
B2 Sensor 2 Adaption Partial...-5.5%
which is a little rich i guess. LOL i dont know what the ef those mean!
B1 Sensor 1 Adaption Idle...-2.6%

Correction: you are running stoich regardless of the number as long as you are within...
the LTFT limits However, most people think of negative numbers as "running rich" and positive numbers as "running lean".....since negative numbers mean that the ECU is pulling fuel to remain stoich while positive numbers mean the ECU is requesting more fuel to remain stoich.
