changed the wires / plugs, it's better, but still...
01 discovery started running pretty rough and engine light came on, individual cylinder misfire codes and mltiple misfire codes.
So I got done changing the plugs and wires. It runs a whole lot smoother but now still a few issues, not sure if they are a result of my work or just now apparent with the new wires / plugs. Cleaned the TB and seafomed it a few months ago.
It is idling pretty slow, about 5-600 rpm. Before the work, when it was started, it would race for a few seconds then settle about 900 rpm. I don't know what controls this. Seems to rev fine when driving, maybe not as much power as should be, and if you let off the gas all the way there is a single "blip" from the engine, not a backfire I dont' think.
Any help or thing to check appreciated - I did have to remove the manifold to do the plugs (have NO IDEA how some people can do it without), but I think all is back together correctly-
I forgot to have the guy clear the codes, so tomorrow I will go get that done and see if anything still comes up.
