Coil Pack Condenser

I have been chasing a low rpm miss, perceptible at idle only, and very minimal.
I have read that condenser failure rate is high and removing it is a good option??
I may try it to see if it helps. Any body have any info on this?

Not sure about the condenser, -but have you checked the harness right above the AC accumulator. You may know this already, - in case you don't, the harness tends to drop over time eventually contacting the top of the accumulator. Starts gnawing at it until it gets into the foil insulation that protects the ignition wires from magnetic interference.

Some cases, with old wiring, the insulation can crack without touching, therefore creating the same type ignition disturbance,- from just being in the vicinity.

To determine that, while it's running and the miss is present, move the harness further away from accumulator by hand while listening for the miss to smooth out, deflect, change or whatnot.

That's all I'm familiar with, - that kind of miss anyway.. These usually don't miss @ idle, not that often anyway. Unless you have a completely dead hole.
