Engine Missing... good spark though.
My IROC appears to be missing a cylinder - or at least a part of one 
While the motor idled I disconnected each spark plug (at the cap since we all know doing it at the spark plug just gets you burned) and noted a marked increase in roughness for each wire. Every plug wire removed impacted idle quality. So where's the miss?
Each fuel injector is firing (clearly heard and felt). The miss becomes quite noticeable above 2,000 RPM and stays throughout the RPM range.
Traced the plug wires... no noticeable breaks/burns.
Plugs have less than 20K on Bosch Platinum.
I've not done a compression check.
