Same old problem
Pulled one injector at a time. Each should make the motor run worse. If it does, put it back and proceed to the next one. If one influenced the motor less than the others, you have a starting point

thanks. Will try that this week. I'm talking about connectors only 👍
i had two recent situations that gave me the type of misfire rough idle.
The first instance was on my 85, there was an injector wire broken. This does not throw a code and has nothing to do with the injector. You can test your injectors to make sure they are all firing with a noid light set. my said cost me $20, and I never in 1 million years would've thought that I would've ever had to use it to fix a problem. But there I was a year after about it and I discovered that I had one cylinder that was not firing because the injector was not firing. The injector itself was fine.

The second instance I just had and I was getting a miss as I was driving down the road and the car was jerking or trailer hitching or fish biting. At idle it sounded the same almost as when I had a non-firing injector.

i also had a third instance where the coil was not pushing out the power it should. the only way i was able to diagnose this one was to do this crazy test:
but it did work 100%. i discovered my spark wS mediochre to not present. when i swap in a spare coil i had, i got a nice food spark.
it could also have been the ignition module.
in the case of fuel, if you have a fuel pressure gauge you would see either irratic pressure or low pressure when u got your symptims.
How do you use nous lights Do you have to pull connector off of injector to use it
Replaced coil and module already
QUOTE=VikingTrad3r;1593403101]by slight miss do you mean a slightly rough idle?

testing spark.
my bad coil generated a weak spark every 10th or so rotation.
my vid and this vid is what you should have.
i tried the "coil test" using resistence values but mine showed it was good using that test.
but no spark!!!!!
