Where do I test to see that slight fluctuation ?

I'm about to make a new thread offering someone $100 to figure out my problem.

Maybe that will light a fire under someones butt.

hehe, your car wants to race buddy, it's its way of telling you, by anti-laging itself
i've been to the world rally back home and all the cars were antilagged, but still that thing causes the car to idle very roughly.
btw all cars build boost when revved in neutral, otherwise you wont be hearing the bov when someone revved at ya. haven't you ever heard a car boving while sitting still?

That's what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure they are the same sensor, but the plugs can get switched around. I "Think" the grey plug goes on top, and the white plug goes on the bottom, but I don't have my car in front of me now. As far as the trigger wheel goes, take it off the car, and lay it on a flat surface, if it lays flat and level, then that probably isn't your problem, if it is bent at all, then try to carefully straighten it out. It is really starting to look like a wiring problem, to me, though. You may end up having to replace a wiring harness. Hey, for ***** and giggles, why don't you check the harnesses up by the firewall, and make sure that the blue and white connectors that connect right at the firewall are connected.

Could be when they built your engine they clocked a rotor at the wrong angle. Course I guess you said its a new engine and both engines were having this prob didnt you. What about the injectors? Have they been tested? What about your fuel pressure? Maybe the regulator is stuck shut and causing your rail pressure to be sky high.

I know this is a funny questions but there is a reason for it.....what intake do you have?

Tell us more about what was going on the first time this every happened. Had you just been doing some mods or anything or did it just start right out of the blue and you hadnt been messing with anything.

Oh yea, if I end up figuring it out do I get $100? j/k
