Sound like a tuning issue??
Well, I got the missfire to go away.. so I think all is well with the ignition system..
However, while I am driving, the motor seems to be surging a bit.. and the rpms are a bit jumpy.. like it cant get into rythm. I just changed to a PCMForLess chip, and changed the opti at the same time.. Does this sound more like something wrong with the ignition, or like the programming isnt quite on.. Also, I suspect my sparkplugs may be a little on the dirty side (she has been running rich for the last thousand miles or so) so that may have something to do with it as well..

I HAD a PCMFORLESS chip and it was horrible. Surging and LTerm near 160 at all times. I went round and round with that guy to get it right. After 6 times he still couldn't get it straight. I finally gave up and bought the stuff to tune the car myself. Best move I ever did. When I read the PCMFORLESS tune with TunerCat the tables looked like the Grand Canyon, what a hack job. Save yourself the headaches an learn to tune it yourself.
