Subject:Re: Misfire when coasting?

If you have a bit of surging when coasting, most likely the throttle
position sensor is in need of adjustment.  Especially if you notice this
with your foot slightly on the gas pedal.

If adjsted properly, it should turn the injectors off with the accelerator
closed and rpms above 1500.
