Default opti or delteq?

Alright guys i have been trying to track a miss i have in the car.I have check and double check eveything i can think of.plugs are new and gaped at .050, wires are not arcing or brocken and are new, all grounds and connectors are good and tight.I have delteq ingition system all coils are working from what i can see, and the opti-spark is about 9 mouths old, but 5 mouths of that it sat on the work bench while the new motor was being brought to life.
OK now this is what is happen. ideling the car will miss every so often, driving the car at part throttle or wide open in 1 2 3 gears it will start missing right above 3000rpm. It a hard miss just like when the first opti went out.In 4 5 6 gear it will not miss as bad but it still there, 5th is the worst out of all the top end gears, and third is the worst out of the lower gears.It will also miss slightly when you free rev past 3000. the only thing that makes me think its not the opti is the Little LED light in delteq ingition box never goes off during the miss.I know that the light is on when the box and the opti are working as one or syscronized (sorry about the spelling). Im not sure what to do guys let me know what you think.
Thanxs grant
