The mods will move it to the 3.0. Create a detailed signature. We will need more info.

Done, thanks for the advice. It's happening only occasionally and only at idle for more than a minute or two. Runs a little rough.

Hmmm with rebuilt engine they should have solved the burnt valve issue. Does the Cel flash?(this is a misfire). What are the actual codes?

It does not flash. When the check engine light does come on which is infrequent, the code reads "misfire cylinder 6"

The only thing left is the fuel injector and compression or leak down Test. I would add some Techron to the gas tank just for giggles!

Ok I realized it idles rougher in drive than park. Just because it's set like that or?
