V bad Engine miss approx every 5 / 10 secs always.
Engine at idle in drive, much worse with a/c on. in park better. A/C off a lot better, but still occasional miss.
Changed coil block, plugs and plug wires twice...( with new ) no better.
I think all 4 cyclinders actually stop firing for a second, ( not just one ).
