I have a 1995 nissan 240sx that I had just bought just thought I would say I love this car, it has a miss though I've tried everything from tune-up to compression test, I've used a heavy duty fuel system cleaner and intake cleaner and nothing works, you can only notice the miss when the car is warmed up at idle and low rpms, it idles like crap and no check engine light, and it does not miss when you get into the higher rpms.

Check the electrical timing, and mechanical timing. What do the spark plugs look like?

Have you noticed any smoking, or odd smells?
