Hello Volks,

Spent the past week trying to track down that misfire. Thanks for all the suggestions. This week I re-sealed the entire induction system(all new gaskets and hoses), so now I have NO vacuum leaks. I tried another distributor and coil, I installed a new fuel filter. I put it on an oscilloscope-everything looked fine. And I replaced 3 of the injectors(the 4th has not arrived yet). When I first installed the injectors the engine sounded very different. I thought that the miss was gone. The next morning I installed new distributor springs (mine were weak) and the miss is back! The engine does not sound like I did anything! Arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

Also, I tried to isolate the missing cylinder(by pulling the plug wires one at a time) but it appears to be a couple of cylinders missing at once.

The hunt goes on...
