Still need help with missfire Ok I have swapped spark plug, wire, coil, injector, spring and pushrod and I still have a miss. It is in the low RPM range If i give it to much/little throttle (in lower rpm's) from a stop/roll it will spit and sputter. But if i ease it at the right throttle % to about 3k-3.5k rpms it will run ok and i can go with a lot of throttle and it pulls hard and feels like its running like a champ. It will reach a certain RPM and you can the car will jerk like you just started up a cylinder or 2 that werent on. I noticed my coolant temperature sensor is screwed up and I just took the car for its maiden voyage since the spring, injector, pushrod swap and the temp gauge got to 3/4 the way up (almost overheating if the gauge was right). could it be that sensor causing the problems? Any other ideas on the culprit.

Looks like it was that dump sensor car is running great now. Hope this helps someone in the future. After all that work swapping thing it was this sensor that took 3 min to change.
