Just times engine still miss
Just timed engine, it's running alot stronger, but there's still a miss. I think It's probably a spark plug. What else would cause misses?

Re: Just times engine still miss
The quick check list.
1) Pop the hood after dark, engine running, look for "neon" plug wires or arching.
2) Check dist cap, rotor and button
3) Check plugs
After these, there are more in depth checks such as valves and / or other poor compression issues, but always start with the basics.
If you can't check wires after dark, a misting spray bottle of water sprayed over the wires a section at a time will usually bring out bad wires.
Hope this helps.
