rough idle 02 stroke

I have a 2002 stroke auto. The only mod is an edge EZ. recently i noticed that the engine had a rough idle (in both park and drive). The tach doesnt move much and it doesnt sound like its going to die...its more like a miss or its not getting enough fuel. Sometimes, this continues on up to about 1500 rpms when accelrating/decelerating. Removing the EZ doesnt change anything (may help a lil but its still there). I have changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and have run a can of fuel treatement all since the problem started with basically no effect.

Any ideas on what it could be? I have searched the forums but was not able to find a description of my exact problem. I have a "blue" CPS on the way thinking maybe the CPS is going bad. Does this sound right? Anybody know what else it could be?

Thanks

if it is a contribution issue then probably no light. electrical issues can however throw the light
