I have a bad miss in engine. I have changed sparkplugs, ignition module, coils, the plastic housing and plastic things that go over plugs, fuel filter, fuel injector, checked compression which is ok. Had the catalytic coverter checked ok. If you hold gas paddle down half way the engine will rev up and down but still misses bad. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Is the check engine light on when this is happening. It is possible that a coil control circuit, injector control circuit, or fuel contaminants could be at fault, to name a few. If the check engine light is on, it may have a corresponding code that could lead us further in the right direction.
