check you ecu. same problem happen to me in an izuzu rodeo. I let my fuel get to low and it sucked dirt into the filter and messed with that and it set off a code for the ecu and messed it up but if i had just replaced the ecu first i wouldnt have had to change the injectors or anything.

I have a 2003 Chevy Trail Blazer. I have a intermittent misfire going on only when engine is under a load. When driving around town there is not a issue. So I am not sure what could be the issue.

Check your coil packs and plug wires if applicable it could have just the sparkplug boots if so replace them. Chevy's are notorious for them prematurely wearing out from time to time.

How to increase idle speed

The engine may be misfiring. I had a 2.4L engine that did that and at long last I discovered that the "Coil Cover Housing" needed to be replaced. This is because the coil cover housing has the spark plug wires molded into the plastic as part of its design. For me this caused an intermittent misfire in one of the cylinders.

MAZDA CX-9 P0354 CODE

Cylinder 4. Each cylinder has it's own coil above the sparkplug.
If you have a misfire, it's probably a bad coil. But if it's an intermittent misfire, it may be the wiring to the coil. If it's intermittent, start the car and wiggle the wires to that coil. If you cause a misfire you need to check the wiring to the coil.
Goode luck.

I started having a problem about a month ago. My 2003 Mercury Grand marquis LSE tuned up at 100k currently 145k. started hesitating and slight bucking at cruise speed. I went to autozone and coded #8...

A misfire can be related to a number of causes. Since the coil and spark plug were replaced and it did not solve this issue, it is most likely related to the circuit for the number 8 cylinder. A thorough inspection of the electrical circuit is what is required next. Also, engine compression will need to be tested on that cylinder as well as cylinder number 6 that is next to it. Vacuum leak around the intake port of the number 8 cylinder could also be a cause and will need to be checked.

Have a problem with intermittent cruise control on my 2007 Honda Civci Sedan. Took it to the dealer 2x, still have issues. "Main Cruise Control" lit on dash but cruise control intermittently will not...

cruise control operation is reliant on the following
road speed sensor ( speedo or VSS sensor )
engine rpms tacho/ ignition coil/module problem
clutch pedal sensor (VSS in automatic )
gear selection position sensor ( not properly adjusted causing flickering of the selector light)
brake pedal sensor
bad ground wire connections
r all need to work together or the CC will stop working
nothing to do with vents and all that you mentioned.
wire connections and harness connections for the transmission are suspect
CC will not operate under certain engine rpms and road speed
