Re: Hi guys..
well, your old man should be able to figure out a miss if he is a mechanic.
It can only be a few things...
Ignition (cap, rotor, wire, plug.)
Fuel injector or wiring to it.....
etc etc etc.
Pull the plugs and see what they look like, if there is one that is different from the rest, than that is the cylinder you are allegedely "missing" on...this is assuming you have a miss, of course.
While the plugs are out, do a compression test (and a leakdown test if you have the capabilities) to see what kind of shape your block and head are in...
some more info would be nice, too.
-how many miles...
-what kind of driving conditions....
-really anything more would help...
