are you still on the same tank of fuel?
how is your oil level? may seem like a stupid question but check anyway.

oil level perfect, ive gone through 2 full tanks since the problem started, when i fill up tommorow, im going to put some diesel kleen into it, and run it through both tanks and change the fuel filter afterwards..

there are a couple of different things that there could be then.
I know you checked the operation of the injectors but now you need to check the contribution levels of each injector. you will probably have to take that in to a shop to check. then injector may pop off fine but if it is not contributing the same amount as the others then you will get a miss at idle. Probably worth the 70-90 dollars to have it put in the shop.

yeah i'm going to wait till i run through this last batch of fuel with the different cleaner in it, and see what happens. From wat i understood from someone when you run stiff cleaners through it, it breaks up wax deposits, and algae from the tank and the lines, which then ends up in the filter. so once i change the filter ill keep you posted on here, to the change.
