Yes. There are 5 others that I did find where they go to. Plus my cable in and a bunch of other coax I haven't started looking at yet.

The one you found comes out of a wall box?
Looks like pro install or home brew?
What type of test equipment do you have available?

1. Early 2000s
2. 2+basement.
3. Yes
4. Large wall box yes
5. All other Cat5 cables I found go between a wall-mounted RJ45 jack and the central panel (answer 4). There are no more RJ45 jacks in the house as far as I can tell. Only place I haven't checked is the attic... Hmmmm......
6. All of these look professionally installed, but are noticeably separate (length, material, etc) from the rest that actually go to a wall jack.
7. Cheap two-piece wire tracer. Was like $25 on Amazon. Plug one end of an RJ45 in on one piece, and run to all the wall jacks and plug in the other piece until you find the right one.

No CEL, no obvious misfire. But this video shows what I've noticed both before the incident this week (since having car tuned to stock and headers removed) and now.

It's most noticeable from about 40 seconds till the end:

I don't have AC on either.

So, we are looking at the idle fluctuating? I didn't hear anything weird (using my phone at least) if that's also part of it.

Yeah, not touching the gas pedal at all.

Sound-wise it's hard to really capture anything. Basically whenever the revs do that bounce thing of down, up, down, up you can just hear the exhaust like it's a teeny rev (which I guess it basically is).

I found this thread, which seems like it's about a similar issue, but so many pages of comments. I'll dig through.

Unless I'm just going crazy about this now. In which case someone please shoot me.

I didn't hear anything odd either. It just looks like a bit of idle dip.

@spike021 is the car warmed up when it does this?

Yeah, warmed up.

Really? Vertical video? Have you no shame?

Surge is not ok but ecu is prolly still learning. It's not terrible. Can you log? I'd love to see the fuel trims.

Keep driving & watch it.

Lol I couldn't stop myself. Had to annoy you guys a bit .

This same thing happened before this week's misfire/CEL though, and by then the ecu would've been done relearning (several thousand miles since October).

A/C isn't on.. but how about your front defogger? That will kick on your compressor occasionally and cause a small RPM surge. Mine is always on this time of year so I see these little surges all the time at idle.

That said, your video does show it surging a little more than I would expect if that were the case.

Nah nothing was on other than the engine of course.

Just to clarify, is it behaving the same when it triggers the misfire CEL?

The misfire threshold is pretty high at idle. Have you noticed any other weird behavior in other RPM ranges?

You might reach a bigger audience and hit some of the tech wizards if you brought it up in the Issues sub. Most of them never venture here.

[spike021]

Yeah, I’ll just post all this in its own thread . Thanks for the help guys.

Back to the regularly scheduled off topic programming.

[ls1ac]

If it was pro install there may be wires to other potential spots in the house. Do you have phone jacks? Often put in the box with them.
Do some of the cables go up and others down? Can you find any in the basement? If everything is hidden then was probably put in during construction, if bundles go up and or down probably done later.
A telephone wire tracer is a good tool, attach to one wire and use a receiver to follow the wire.
