Replaced Fuel Filter
Replaced Fuel Pressure Regulator
Replaced Both Oxygen Sensors

Checked Fuel Pump Pressure 38 to 40lbs

Things I have not done
Have not Checked Injectors
Have not done a close inspection to see if antifreeze is leaking around the intake manifold (Not readily apparent)

Re: Rough Idle, Acceleration miss

It looks like the Intake Manifold is leaking, pool of antifreeze in the valley under the thermostat, and this is a known problem with the 3.1 engine. guess it is gasket change time. Did not appear to be any antifreeze getting into the oil though. Thanks
