Looked at almost everything that relates to these codes and I can't find anything wrong but I got a bad miss. What is the chance I got a bad PCM? GOOD wires, plugs, coils, ICM, New crank sensor, Cam Senor? Did unplug and did get code, so I believe it is good? Injectors are good, I did a noid check on all 4 and that looked good. High speed runs good, low speeds and idle a real bad miss?

Are you able to narrow it down to which cylinder is missing?

No I am not able to, it is so random. The spark plugs #3 & #4 were blackened(rich) #3 was more then #4. #1 & #2 looked good.I also hooked up my test light to see witch cylinder is missing and they all are. The car starts up with no problem. I tried a leak down by pulling sprk plug wires and it so hard to see a difference? I thought a about a compression test? The car has been running fine, so something went out just like that?

One other thing. I need to make up a fitting so I can check the fuel preasure. Do know if they sell that fitting/tool to hook up my fuel gauge tester? I will look on line for one. This is one thing I havent checked. I can hear it run when I turn the key I just don't know the PSI?

I'm not sure what type you have, but you should be able to find an adapter.

The ignition has new parts, the fuel pressure is correct and we have a misfire. Have you checked engine compression?
