Found the reason for my misfiring
So a few days ago i get the flashing SES, and my car develops this *mean* lope.. and a very rough idle.
Great.
Today we finally got around to looking at wtf's up.
One of the sparkplug wires fell off.
Would be fine if it was one on the driver's side, the easy to get kind.. but no... it's on the passenger's side.. the *furthest* one. Murphy's laws never fail.. can't get to that one without a lift.
Oh well. At least tomorrow we'll put it on a lift at a shop somewhere and put the damn wire back on! Kinda sucks running on 7 cylinders

I don't know if I'd want to be laying my whole body weight across a plastic fender...haahahaaa. Just jack the car up and crawl under. Takes 5 minutes.
