Misfires are hard to find check for vacuum leaks, fuel pressure, and compression. then have it scanned auto parts can't read what needs to be so a mechanic will have to do it. you said it misfired prior to replacing plugs. so it's something else.

If there areno codes there is not a misfire if there was it would show it via code. Check for a vacuum leak and fuel pressure.

Hey Divermedic06

When you changed the plug did you do the plug wires as well?
