I have an issue with the engine wanting to stall out when it is cold, and sometimes when it is warm. The idle is a tad rougher than most SR's I've experienced and overall the car struggles to get over 20 MPG. It drives fine apart from a partial throttle surging issue when I'm under about 3000 - 3200 RPM typically when the engine is warming up (read: not cold, but warming)
The car has a new 02 sensor, relatively new ignition components (rotor and cap look decent, no build-up or burning), plug gap is normal (whitish - brown tint), reground MAF, removed EGR, removed AIV, engine doesn't appear to be sludged up so I believe it to be in good shape, doesn't burn oil.
Sometimes when I start it to go home at work the engine will run on 3 cylinders. Application of throttle brings the 4th online but it will go back to missing as soon as the idle comes down.
I'm thinking it's either an injector issue or a TPS issue, something else that comes to mind is crossfiring on the wires, but I have given it the pitch black test.
