Thumbs down rough idleing and check engine light on help!

I just bought another AP1 s2k it has 142,000 miles and it is idleing rough runs good only when its idleing is the problem. I had it checked out and the code said it was a misfire. I changed injectors, spark plugs, coil packs and even put STP fuel cleaner in it still same thing!!! I even had compresion check and its good... Any advise please let me know thanks.

Have you checked your map sensor? It's the sensor on the intake manifold right by the throttle body. take it off and clean the connections and see if that helps. Search "map whack"

Try the "map whack", clean your throttle body, clean IAC valve, and valve adjustment, just a few possibilities.

check em all, since you're on a rampage. 150k worth of PCV can be some serious gunk build up

id honestly lean more towards 02 sensors or IAC though.
