U should do a compression test to rule out internal engine wear or damage, very important. also u need to isolate dead cylinder or cylinders to verify proper eng compression ,an if is good suspect a faulty injector or clogged inlet screen on that dead cyl. one way to isolate a dead cyl is to pull of spark plug wires while engine is runnin(with an approved spark plug boot pliers which r insulated). a good cyl will drop total rpm down 200 to 300 rpm, a dead cylinder will not change ur idle rpm wen the wire is disconnected.thats how u isolate a dead cyl. good luck

2000 gmc jimmy 4x4 p0300. Replaced cap, rotor, wires, plugs, map sensor, checked icm. Nothing has helped

Just a thought,pull the dist.cap and make sure the rotor has
no side to side play ,thinking maybe a bad upper bushing in
the dist.Also,if the EGR valve has carbon and soot built up
on the piston it will make it idle really poor ,but run ok.
Might pull the EGR and clean it with intake cleaner.
Hope this helps.

1995 toyota camry runs very well accept when at idle its rough 4 cyl.

You need to have a full tune up done on the vehicle. Plugs, wires, air filter, dist. cap, dist. rotor, and oil service. This greatly increases the operation of the motor if they are old and worn. I hope that this points you in the right direction. Please rate if i was able to help you.

Son-in-law did a tune up. Plugs, plug wires, rotor, distrbuter cap, pvc valve and all the filters. He change the oil also. The fuel pump was the original problem. He changed the pump and fuel filter. The...

Check for an air leak in the fuel system. It sounds like the son-in -law did good work but missed an air leak somewhere. The system is not providing enough fuel to the engine. The other possibility is that you are pulling a vacuum on the fuel tank. They have to be vented either through the cap or through the canister. First take the fuel cap off and see if the truck will run. If it does put the fuel cap back on and pull the hose off the canister and try to run the truck. If it runs it was the canister.

Sounds like a fuel mix problem possibly the oxygen sensor. If it ran like this immediately after the new plugs, I would check to make sure all the plug wires are on the right plugs and secure. Good luck!

Motor runs very rough and has no power when going down the road?

Also check you Mass Air Flow Sensor. If they go bad or get dirty they run terrible. You can purchase MAF cleaner at most auto part stores. Give this a try, its cheap.
