Do you notice any miss at higher rpm? Have you checked the valve cover gasket harnesses?

no, it runs great at anything but an idle.....It's been like that for as long as i've had it which is only a month so i wouldn't know if there was any power loss.

Take out the fuel filter , inside the canister , there is a small round hole Fuel return) it has a screen in it that gets clogged with debris . Most use a que tip ,without the tip to clean it ...
