I just recently bought my car, it miss fired since i bought it, and i looked at the plug wires before i bought it, and one was ripped in half....so im like, oh thats no big deal, just needs some wires. So i replaced the wires, plugs, cap/rotor, fuel filter, decarbed the intake, and added some fuel injector cleaner.....bad news is it still misses. When i pulled the old fuel filter off i emptied out the old fuel just to see how nasty it was, and noticed that there were a few lil chunks of the filter that came out with the fuel. So now im starting to lean towards the injectors possiblly being clogged. Anyone else got any ideas???? Thanks

I've had bad experiences with certain brands of plug wires. Make sure when you put them on you can hear it "snap" into position. If not the connetor is just kind of sitting on top of the plug and will miss quite a lot.

Dylectric grease will work wonders too..

Probably not timing.. but I forgot to ask. Does it miss all the time or only certain rpms, throttle positions?
