Just recently I'm noticing on startup and acceleration my engine seems to miss fire. I used 87 octane Exxon or BP fuel. The dealer advised me to use a higher Octane so I tried 89 then 92 and in addition changed the Airfilter with no success. Could the injectors be clogged or is the timing off? The dealer said if it was an ignition problem a light on the dash would be lit.

Hi Rustyboy39,

Have you checked the spark plugs and related parts?
