the computer said misfire on cylinder 1
also possibly crankshaft sensor..no engine lite on at present
miss on acceleration especially with ac on
idle smoother with warm engine
changed plugs on cylinder 1 and 6 no improvement

1. book says all sparkplugs on ohc have coil on sp plugs. Not this '02 all apparently on the left side of motor in 1 location
2. i can change out remaining plugs and wires but i suspect vacuum leak or ignition coil
