Default Need help in diagnosing engine problem

Hey guys here is the scoop,

Recently, my car has developed a rough idle, especially when warming up. The problem has been getting worse within the last 2 months. Yesterday, when I started up the car, it felt like one or two cylinders were firing out of sequence (I felt like I was on a harley), after 2 seconds it ran normally. Today I had the same problem but only for half a sec. I don't percieve any loss of power in vtec. I do hear light valve train noise (tapping) only when it warms up. Could it be the injectors? I have never mis-shifted in my car......and no I haven't installed the turbo yet so the car is stock.

Thanks,
Bobby

Target your MAP sensor. It has been the root of many such problems. Ultimate Lurker did a real nice thread on the MAP sensor some time ago.
