It does not set a code, just aggravating.

Hi Jackie,

Interesting that it doesn't set a code. Tell me. Does the engine just develop a rough idle or are you certain there is a cylinder misfire. Also, is there anything you noticed seems to correlate with this happening? For example, does it only happen when the AC is on or the defroster? Do you have to load the engine or can it simply be at idle? Are the engine RPM's dropping lower than what you think is normal?

Here is a link that discusses common causes related to an idle misfire. Take a look through it and see if anything seems to mirror what you are experiencing.

Let me know.
