Angry 96 WS6 Low RPM Misfire Part 3....

Well I have finally had time to try a few more things on the TA to try and eliminate the low rpm misifre. I replaced the arcing MSD wires w/ some taylors as well as the coil and ICM. Thus far I have replaced plugs, wires, coil, icm, and the opti. It runs MUCH better than it did before but I there is still a very minor misfire present. It still only misfires at idle and low rpm cruising....and it will not misfire at first when cold-started but after 5mins or so it will happen. (However if you give it any more than 1/3 throttle it will clear up until u let off) So if anyone has any other ideas I can try please let me know, I'm at the end of my patience with this car and if I dont fix it soon I'm gonna sell it.

Is it harder to start when it's warmed up, compared to when it's cold?

No, it starts up quickly/the same no matter if its hot or not. I dont think its a vacuum leak....how would I check for that?

Re: 96 WS6 Low RPM Misfire Part 3....

I just found something new when I was looking under the hood after work. The flange on my TPS sensor is cracked around where one of the screws goes in. Could this in any way be affecting my problem?? I have a picture from shoebox's site which I labled to show where the crack is.
