Idle misfire - cant figure it out
have an annoying misfire at idle. I did plugs and wires and it helped nothing. I tried doing a case learn and for some reason the VCM scanner would not allow me to do it. I followed the directions but the case learn button would not highlight to allow me the option to try the feature out.
What else can I try to get rid of this annoying misfire at idle? Here is my tune and a log at idle. I scanned each cylinder for misfires and misfire history.
02 silverado 4x4 5.3
mods: Comp Cam XR265HR 212/218, .522/.529, 114LSA, Pacesetter LT's & ORY, Intake, Gibson catback, 35" tires, 4.10 gears, stock 1800 stall
thanks in advance.

the log shows the misfire.
air fuel should be fine. i have leaned it out and richened it up to see if anything helps and nothing does.

Your long term trims are rather high. If they're being caused by a leak of some sort, then that could be causing an intermittent lean misfire, especially with a cam. Can you step through a log and look at your O2 sensor voltages at exactly the point that a misfire occurs and check them out? Even in closed loop, the switching action of the O2 sensors can trigger a lean misfire here and there.

I raised my idle timing to 35* and the truck has a noticeably better idle.
I was also told that my idle fuel trims need to be tweaked. I dont know which tables to tweak though

If you're seeing a lot of reversion due to that cam, could be causing some of your idle fueling issues.
Best bet is to get your VE table nailed down via some method (wideband is preferred), then nail down your MAF calibration as needed.
