Have you checked the plug & wire on cylinder #1? That's where I'd start. Then next look at the coil and injector for that cylinder.

I checked the plug, wire, coil pak. It seems to clear out after a little bit. Mainly at start up misfires a couple minutes then runs great. Vacume seems to be a bit low 10.7, but not sure what is normal.

I had.....eh hem, have the same problem with mine. Replaced plugs with NGK TR55s gapped at .055, MSD wires and problem still exsists...but intermittently. Is there a good "test" for the coil pack? Also, Autozone carries Wells CPs for 35 bucks. Are these any good?

I had the same problem about a week ago. turned out one of my wires had come loose and wasnt connecting with the spark plug. I also had a buddy who had the same problem. His turned out to be a faulty spark plug. I say replace plugs and wires and see if that solves the problem.
