I just bought this car not too long ago. It studdered when I bought it but I just thought it was because it was on E (No Gas). Now I put gas but it still studders. So I know its a misfire. Now I went pulling the spark plugs one by one to see which cylinder it was happening in. Now weird thing is when I went to pull the first cylinder plug I pulled it out about 10 mm and the car didn't misfire anymore. It started to run better. So I plug it back in and it starts misfiring again. What could be the cause of this?

 

Try changing spark plugs, Take the one from the 1st cylinder and put it in the 2nd cylinder.

If the misfire goes to that cylinder then you can change the spark plug.

When was the last time the distributor was replaced?

 

Found out what it was. The spark plug had a crack in it. So took one from another motor we had sitting in the shop and boom no more misfire.
