Haha. Where were you when I was having
my random Cyl. 1 misfire?
I could used that advice...I put $250 in the car for plugs, wires, cap & rotor, and a new Ignition Control Module inside the distributor, only to find out it was my damn EGR ports clogged. Cost me $3 for the plugs, $5 for carb cleaner, $5 for a set of brushes, and I borrowed my body guys slide hammer. HAHAHA I don't care though. Because that was the
last thing I tried. That's why I thought I could be of so much help to Itzroyal with his misfire. Because I had the same damn problem and tried EVERYTHING (From a tune-up, to cleaning the IACV, cleaning the EGR Valve itself,to replacing the ICM...etc.) to solve it. I was one step short of replacing the distributor (which the OP already did) and switching ECU's (which I think he may also have done already.)
Itzroyal, you still need to do the non-fouler and valve adjustment, right?
