Intermittent misfire

...Went for a nice spirited drive and I was speechless how well she performed....

Speechless would seem to be the appropriate word...

Not that I don't doubt his engine timing is off, but an engine out of time won't cause an "intermittent misfire". But it will make a permanent one, and in general just run bad.

Thats funny cause a week or so ago I was going back through the thread to see if I missed something and I saw that and thought wow, why have I STILL not checked timing. If only if only.

Mine misses a little at idle. It misses pretty bad under low load and vacuum. Under boost is seldom misses. its the cruising at low load missing is annoying. I suspect bad fuel/detonation. It got worst right after fueling up at a gas station in a different town, it started missing a lot so added added octane boost and it helped but still missing...

Thats exactly when mine would miss the most. low load, cruising, and at idle. Your case sounds like bad gas. Id go fill up with some premium chevron or something equal and hope it didnt toast your pump.
