If you can track down what is causing the miss, that will help narrow it down.....Too much air/fuel? too little air/fuel? Electrical problem? Mechanical problem? The thing with a miss due to a mechanical problem or and air problem... they both feels like the exact same thing but what you can do is if you have some propane, is add propane via the booster line (making sure it's sealed to the source and not creating another vacuum leak) and if the engine smooths out and starts running good, then you have a miss due to too much air and you can look for a vacuum leak, restricted injector, etc.... If it still runs poor, then it might be a good idea to take a compression test......., if the compression is good, then you are going to need to look at the electrical side of it.....a scope would help.....I suppose you could pull a coil, put a plug in it, ground it on the engine and make sure it's firing....   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
