My car has a low idle miss. I can get out of the car and hear the exhaust go from "babababa da bababab da" something like that. Anyways, the exhaust note changes.
Things I've replaced or cleaned: K&N, all PCV hoses, PCV valve, spark plugs with NKG's(properly gaped), plug wires, coil pack, fuel filter. It just makes me think that the car is off a tooth on timing or something. Help me!

does the car have any other symptoms? my car has a very rough idle and it has a high rpm sputter/miss/hesitation, i changed the plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, and it still runs like crap, no CEL, did that d-check mode thing and that did nothing as well, also reset the ecu, did nothing.

It really doesn't have any other symptoms. Looks like we are in the same boat, dude. :_(

definetelly the idle control valve, that probably give you a bad idle, or if you are having misfiring, try to swap the ignition thingie and coil packs.
