Newbie. Idling question

I just bought my first z32 I'm 52 years young and always wanted one but kids ,college wife etc kept me from jumping in . I didn't get exactly what I wanted ( has. A slush box ) but for the money and potential I'm happy 91 300 ZX TT with 144000 on the body and only12000 on the motor fresh rebuild from Zsoulutions in Alabama . Pearl white wblack leather
anyway runs great but has a small miss at idle. Goes away with throttle and there is a bolt broken off on dowpipe at the turbo. Thought that might be it but my exhaust guy said that wouldn't cause it. Plugs are brand new and coil packs check out fine. Check engine light is on but seller told me has been since rebuild
Car runs strong but the lopey idle bugs me. Thanks for any suggestions.
Pics soon as soon as I can get them on this stupid I pad

im going to say small air leak

i would suggest looking on the right side of the engine there is a small air hose thats hidden on the bottom of the intake manifold.....that was part of a misfire problem i had, i would also go ahead and check at the back of the engine near the air flow regulator it has two hoses attached make sure they are tight. i hope this helps GOOD LUCK

It's a pre-95 right? can someone suggest which injector upgrade kit has worked best for the N/A z32? I seem to be having a similar problem

Congratulations on the 300.. Love them..

Took me three Hours just to get the Intake off of Mine..

One Word.. PATIENCE.. and there will be Blood, so expect it..

In reading posts, my favorite Quote is .. " I Figured out what the Problem is, I was born with only One Wrist, and One Elbow per Arm!. "

That pretty much says it all..
