Well, moving on here for a bit because your video made me shudder.

Why, you ask? Because your exhaust sounds pretty much exactly like mine from my Troubled Car: a slight miss, pop pop popping, or as my friend Brian put it, a "half miss".

Maybe take a stethoscope to it and have a listen to the car's innards? Just a thought, even though I have absolutely no idea what that could possibly accomplish.

Again--very telling video that sounds just like my car, which still indicates has knock at idle. Could some sort of knock be causing your car to pull timing somehow? (I'm not even sure you have a program that can pull timing enough to affect things; just fishing for thoughts).

Good luck and please keep posting on this.

Cheers,

Scott
