Also you don't need to put "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!" in the title of the thread, its really annoying seeing that. It's not like people are going to see that and say "Geez he needs help bad I'm going to get right over there!" HELP does not work the same way online as it does in person....

I chased a misfire on my Caprice for over a year and changed plugs, wires, opti, ignition module, coil, etc. Basically everything that could have caused a misfire. Well I found out one of the new wires I put on was arcing(same place as the old wire) as I routed it in a stupid way. Doulbe check there is no arcing at night. (Way easier to see at night) How many miles? Has the original opti been changed? I would guess a crap aftermerket unit was put on if it has over 100k and that could be causing your problems. Also were the plugs gapped properly? Sometimes finding a misfire is like looking for a specific needle in a needle stack... usually its not that hard though.
