But, I still have the one cylinder misses when cold problem. It's looking like the computer? Spark is pretty much ruled out, F.I. harness has been ruled out, all sensors have been ruled out except the pressure sensor, which would effect all cylinders equally. I cant see any way for the air distributer could be a problem... hmm...something specific to each cylinder. hmmm... Coud it have something to do with #3 spark being retarded? Any other thoughts or suggestions?
