Ok, that's three plugs. I wanna see all 8 that came outta the car. Those three look good. Gap's a bit wide for a blown car, but burn pattern looks fine.
What gap are the new plugs set to? I'm on 12psi of boost and gapped mine to .032 if memory serves. The gap won't explain your issue since it's happening at idle, but you do want to tighten the gap just a bit on a supercharged car to keep the spark from being blown out by the boost. Lemme see all 8 plug tips and we'll go from there. |

My opinion is that you are not going to get anywhere until you get a scan tool on it and a smoke machine to find the leak assuming there is one.
You can chase Gremlins like this for a month and not find it. |

really sounds like its missing a spark. This happened to me when i put my new wires on, one wire was just not all the way snug.
I have seen vacuum leaks cause cars to idle ruff but usually the idle will be so jerky that the car will die. Another thing you can do if your thinking leak. There are mics that listen in small areas where you can follow your lines and listen for the hiss. Vacuum leaks can be the lines or even the valley gasket.

OK, plugs look fine, so I don't think there's problems with that.
I agree that a scan tool needs to get on the car and check out some parameters. Hook the tool up and let the car idle. Take a look at long term and short term fuel trims. If they're very positive that could indicate a vac leak somewhere. Take a look at O2 sensors make sure they're enabled and reporting properly. Take a look at the timing, specifically when the hesitation occurs. See if when the hesitation occurs you see a quick dip to negative timing. Also take a look at the TPS setting when the hesitation occurs as well to see what it's doing. Also, do you have a catch can on the car? If so, does it fill up with oil more quickly than normal? Double check the PCV valve make sure it's orientated properly. Had a friend put one in backwards once and have some weirdness. I'd also do the smoke machine as well. I'd also check with Jessika at Magnuson. She's a GREAT gal and loves to help. She's also very knowledgeable mechanically, and if she doesn't know she has resources to ask. They can point you to some common areas on the blower to check for this type of issue just to cover all the bases. |

so i hate to be the barer of bad news but misfires happen because these reasons. plug which you have changed, coil pack, coil, or valves arnt opening and low compression, bad gas, or vac leak....i just recently had my lifters replaced and it went bad on me again because the lifter tray had wore down and the lifter had turned sideways and started beating down on the cam and wore it down and that made the cam bad....p0300 is multiple misfires not just one need to look deeper and its unfortunate....i dont know if we able to get it but gm has a new software call gme...check the injectors see if they are firing as well might want to take it to a dealer and see if they can find whats wrong

Misfires are a problem if they occur with any regularity, but he's not reporting that as an issue any longer. That could have been (and likely was) occurring because the blower was blowing out the spark since it happened on a hard rev of the motor. Like I said on forced induction cars you wanna tighten the plug gap a hair. Jessika you are my girl! |

So my decisions were to find leave the tune the same and find the problem, or set it back to a richer and wrong tuning to buy more time. I chose the first one. Car still drives great. Just will die at low idle in gear. Quote:

Ok, headed to work. Had to get an oil change this morning. Gonna stop and get some seafoam and try it in the gas tank. Maybe a fouled injector. Can't hurt.
No, Jessika, I won't run it through the blower. |
