ok update: put the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires on it today. it ran much better right off the bat. more traffic friendly (not such a dog), and at WOT the miss is just about gone. it breaks up for only a second now and then clears up and goes. pulls harder too once it clears. anyone have any ideas on this one? perhaps its running too rich in that spot and i should either pull some fuel pressure or add timing? just looking for more options at this point. vam testing is this weekend, however i dont think theres anything wrong with it.
