Should I have a rough idle?

[AlexTJ]

Hey all, quick question:

With my 4.7L titan in my 97 TJ, should I have a rough idle (as I do)?

I believe the cam is 214/214.

I still do, im still trying to tune as best i can. I just added a 62 mm throttle body and now my ticking noise is back

How rough is rough? My Titan has a slight stumble, and I have been advised by a few people to try different plugs.

When did you two get your titans?

[AlexTJ]

Its not too rough. I was just wondering.

I got mine in August 07

[SilverXJ]

Thats about the same time I got mine.

I got mine like 3 weeks ago. I like the rough idle cuz it sounds pretty sweet haha. But im stil fighting a tick/ping underload!!!!!

[AlexTJ]

I know it does sound sweet, especially when its cold and I first start it up in the morning

that and the flowmaster super 44 lol

As long as I'm not hurting anything I'm cool with it. It goes away as soon as you give it gas and more so when it warms up

I've got a fairly rough idle. Listening to the exhaust, it sounds like it occasionally misfires, but it's not. I work at a Chevrolet dealership, and I've hooked up a SnapOn code reader which can also check for misfiring. There hasn't been a misfire in the history of what the computer can store for data.

I did have misfire codes, but it was only when the engine was in learn mode. If I reset the computer then the first thing it does is raise the idle for a bit cause I guess it doesn't like it that rough. After the computer "gets used" to the stroker it runs normal and if you clear the codes they don't come back (unless you were to reset the computer again)
