    it is running lean. running between 200-350 mv. if i restrict the return line a little it runs fine. But cant leave or will burn up pump. tested fuel pressure. tested good 37 at idle. vacuum on. 44 vacuum off. i dont quite understand the next test about blcok off air to intake? it will stall,

    when hooked up to scan tool watching values, the map was around 236 fluctuating and when running bad it went up to 300+ if that helps. also has run fine for hours at a time with no problems

    it runs so rough at times that it stalls it self out. pulled plugs, looked a hair on lean side (all of them)

Before we both knock ourselves out with fuel injector testing. Hook up a Digital voltmeter (DVM) to upstream O2 sensor and lets see how she is burning. Remember positive lead of DVM to signal wire and negative lead to ground. Anything above 550 mV is rich anything below 350mV is lean. Be mindful that an exhaust leak the size of a pin hole in this region can cause a rough idle. A healthy reading should bounce between 550mV and 350 mV.
Next to test is O2 is working block off air in take making mixture rich and see what O2 says about it . Then pull off a vacuum hose (a lean condition) and see if DVM drops to 200to 300mV's.
Keep me posted.

    Well your problem is that its running lean most of the time. Lean for too long and she runs rough. Now whats making her run lean ? Defective O2 sensor possibly. its should fluctate from lean to rich.

    What I was trying to show you is if you cut down the air intake the vehicle should run rich .This is a means of checking that O2 sensor.

2008 mini cooper s with rough idle to the point of surging at low idle (1K rpm) runs okay above (2k rpm). Have replaced spark plugs, throttle body, and walnut blasted valves. I'm at a loss???

I would be looking for a vacuum leak. Check that none of the hoses have been split or disconnected when you were working on it before.

2009 Camry 5 Speed Manual trans. Has a rough, low idle below 500 RPM whats the cause?

Clean the throttle body bore and plate of any carbon deposits. Also, clean and check the IAC idle air control circuit . If it has electronic controlled throttle body it will not have the IAC. Carbon deposits around the throttle body bore and plate (butterfly) can restrict airflow at idle causing the low uneven idle.

1987 chevy r20 rough idle

Well, the computer is supposed to open the IAC to keep the RPM above 600 or so depending on the load on the engine.
If you have voltage and ground for the IAC it should raise idle speed to at least 1100 when you first start the engine cold.
If that is not happening, I would look for carbon build up in the throttle body. You can apply voltage to the IAC and open it to see if the air passage is open too.

Honda Accord 1994 Rough Idle, often miss cylinder 2-3 changed the distributer, the coil, spark plug, spark wire cleaned the egr valve, pcv valve, vaccum I noticed the engine miss the cylinder 2 and 3

Sounds like a dirty Throttle Body and dirty IAC (Idle Air Compensator) valve. Get some good Throttle Body cleaner remove the flexible hose at the Throttle Body spray it and wipe it very very clean an old tooth brush works good for getting in there.

Now remove the IAC from the side of the throttle body, careful with the gasket if you want to reuse it. Spray it down good inside moving the valve back and forth as you do let it soak for a few minutes and clean it again. Blow it out with some compressed air and reinstall it. Put some throttle body/injector cleaner in the fuel tank.

Keep us updated.

94 Toyota Camry has rough idle.

check for a small vacuum leak speciallythe lines going to the throtle have someone look at it while you seat onthe car , idle ,FOOT ON THE BRAKE ! a way to test for leaks if to spray a lil wd40 around the lines an listen if the idle gets better or worst, sometimes the reason the engine runs to rough or lean are vacumm lines that are slightly broken.
