I have a engine miss. I have changed all of the easy stuff plugs, wires, cap, rotor. I also had the fuel injectors cleaned and check. The problem is I can't seem to isolate the cylinder that is missing. It also comes and goes. It will work fine for awhile then it will start to miss. None of the shops have any type appartatus to check it as they all say its too old. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Check EGR pull off see if it operates smoothly and seals. Clean pintel and seat of carbon. If EGR hangs it will cause a miss that is hard to find.
Let me know

Thanks for that idea Doc but I pulled the EGR off today and it seems to be working OK. With suction it closes and opens. Could this be a sticky or burn valve or a bad injector. Check engine light does not come on either which is strange? Any more ideas would be appreciated
