&^%*ING MISFIRE

It's been getting worse ever since the huge rain we had last week, CEL still hasn't come on to tell me what cylinder(s) are the cuplrit, and I'm getting sick of chugging along all over town, like Toonces the Driving Cat with a debilitating hairball stuck in his throat.

Might just torch it to get the insurance money.

OH WAIT I HAVE LIABILITY ONLY.

does your car have COPs or wires? Can you just pull one off at a time to see which causes the miss to be uneffected?

It doesn't misfire at idle, only under SOME loads.

It's got COPs in the front, with wires that go from the COPs to the rear bank.

I was figuring on getting a new coil, and swapping them out until I find the bad one hopefully, or pulling the spark plugs to see if one shows signs of a miss.

Any chance of hooking up a scanner to see if there are any pending codes that haven't yet turned on the CEL?

(The only car I've had to deal with a misfire on was my NB Miata but it had a coil pack not coil-on-plug. It gave me a random misfire CEL and I replaced the coil pack.)

Check the distributor cap, both toyota's I've owned had rain problems with the dizzy. Either a little crack or bad o-ring let in a little moisture and it would short the spark every now and again.

Check the grounds? Bad ground straps are the worst things in the world.

It's too old/doesn't store pending codes

It's COP in the front, wires in the back. Stupid Toyota.

Spray the wires and coils with water at night and look for arcy sparky
