Ticking and slight miss during idle

[TDC]

As others said the slight Miss is normal. In fact it may have been added to the tune because as another thread (Honeybadger build thread) has pointed out after a performance tune was placed on his motor his Miss is gone.

I very light tick is also normal. Just make sure it isn't a heavy tick light the one in the posted video a few replies up in this thread.

Slight miss here and there is normal. Have you ever heard a Ferrari idle? Ticks and ticks and ticks away and sounds like it's choking on a whale dick at times.

I'm more worried about the car shaking constantly now as opposed to intermittent like it used to do. Reset the KAM and going to drive it to see if the shaking will subside.

Sometimes the intermittent miss does shake the car for a fraction of a second. Anything beyond that is a problem

It's a little better after the KAM reset and some driving. It almost has the same feeling my GT500 had when my spark plug gap was off on one of the plugs.

Has anyone ever popped the throttle and when the rpm settles back down the car quits? That caught me off guard once.

Have not experienced this. Lord knows the Voodoo loves to have the throttle popped!

I had some rough idling at some point, and it was completely cured by taking out the MAF sensor from the big plastic intake, and cleaning it with maf cleaner spray... Give it a go, it will cost you 10 bucks or so.

The miss at idle if you have the A/C on, when compressor kicks in, is completely normal (unless you have a BMW ) ; many cars do this.

I also have a miss here and there sometimes, but so did my 2013 GT500, which had a much more lumpy idle than this one, so I just ignored it...

Heads up on the car. Just got a call back from Ford that the right bank Cam phaser is going to be replaced. Should be ready Thursday.
