Engine misfires at idle, cold or hot, cannot identify a particular cylinder. I have replaced plugs and wires, does not lose coolant or bubble in radiator. does not use oil, no unusual noise. seems smooth at higher rpm. maybe down a bit at power. also replaced distributor cap.

Good afternoon.

I would start by performing a compression test on all the cylinders to be sure there is not an internal issue.

If you do not have a tester, you can rent one at a parts store.
