Tips on tracking down misfires?
1988 305 tpi, new fuel pump, distributor cap and rotor, wires and plugs changed 3 months ago but that was before the crappy leaky injectors got replaced. Anyone have tips on narrowing down misfires.? P.S. ignition coil checked out with multimeter. But i did not test pick up coil. Thanks......

Start pulling plug wires or injector connectors to narrow it down to a cylinder.

Insulated spark plug pliers are nice. Car running at idle and pull wires one by one. If you pull one and notice no stumble or hesitation that cylinder is missing.
