Vehicle: 91 w/ redtop swap. mostly stock.
Issue: Cyl 1 misfire once warm. #1 plug comes out nearly black. Runs perfect when cold but as soon as the coolant temp starts to come up it misfires.
Things I have tried:Plug change. still misfires (rules out plugs)Switching coils 1 and 2. still misfires (rules out coil)replacing fuel system with top feeds. still misfires (rules out injectors)Compression test good all 4 cyls warm and cold (rules out mechanical issue)Ohm injector trigger wire to ECU good / voltage check at injector plug good (rules out wiring issue)Swapped ECU (rules out ECU)
No matter what we do or change, it continues to misfire and turn the #1 plug dark. Swapping the #1 and 2 spark plug cleans up the black one and turns the white one black.
Is it possible the igniter is causing an issue with the #1 coil once the car (and electronics) get warm?
