Vehicle started misfiring about a month ago. Check engine light comes on and blinks. Has previously had this problem and solution has either been a fuel injector or a coil pack or arching in the spark plug wires. Already changed all fuel injectors, coil packs and spark plag wires. Problem has gotten smaller but still misfiring. Will change plugs now. Any other suggestions?
