Dx 1.5 5spd missing at idle - 3k only when warm ???
searched.
dx 5spd, all stock, high miles, 1.5 non.
does not fire cylinder closest to t belt side when engine is warm from idle to about 3k then it kicks in and accelerates smooth after that.
no check engine light no codes. fuel filter is new in the last few k. major engine grounds are new.
checked:
timing
plugs
wires
injectors
compression
new cap
new rotor
gets spark
im going to crimp my FPR return line in a min to see what happens, other than that im out of ideas.
any help would be much appreciated.

tiny white puffs of white smoke only durring the miss today figured it was from the un burnt gas.
checked compression again engine hot and cold still good #s but slightly higher on missing cylinder and they hold.
noticed verry slowly loosing coolant.
removed valve cover to inspect and found chocolatemilk on the underside of the VC that was not visible through the oil fill hole or on dipstick.
replacing the headgasket tonight i will confirm that the problem is fixed when i am done.
