Been having an issue with a rough idle sinc ei got the car on the road again two weeks ago. This idle issue is also joined by 22-24 MPG highway mileage, if that matters.

After days of searching and testing here is what i've done so far:

1) replaced IAC with one i know was good of my SE(RIP)
2) checked for vac leak....did not find one (my personal culprit for my issues, any know area to check for leak?)
3) replaced EVR with a new one recently installed on my SE
4) has new revised DPFE sensor
5) ran a bottle of injector cleaner through it, no help
6) removed and cleaned MAF wires
7) reset the PCM
8) full UIM\LIM rebuild
9) installed a TPS i know is good
10) ford racing wires with new autolite double plats propperly gapped

I was getting 30 MPG out of my SE w\o the headers.....

I'm not throwing any codes.

FWIW, i'm running stock exhaust off a set of MSDS headers with opt y and MIL eliminators, ru3530.

I'm at my wits end guys, please help.

Is it rough from an cylinder missing or overall rough? Cylinder miss will be heard in the exhaust with a "boomp - boomp" kind of sound. Sometimes the engine is running fine - it's the engine mount that is screwed up. All the usual engine vibrations are being transmitted to the chassis from metal to metal contact.

Check your timing belt and overall timing. Has your belt ever been changed?
Check it closely.

I don't know enough to say...its idling at the propper RPM, just rough. Vibration and shiddering is constant, and my fuel economy sucks. What would you susopect be the cause of a miss?
