I think I found my miss!! I was driving around tonight and I stopped in a parking lot in the dark and popped the hood and saw some arcing on the passenger side near the back of the motor, could this be my problem??

Replace the wires. Arcing means the spark is not getting to the spark plug, thus your miss. I'm surprised the miss is not more pronounced under load meaning when you step on it and you're at low RPM. There's no power to the car, it just slugs along.

Bump for a new day.
The arcing was a constant spark I could see in the darkI believe it is happening on cylinder 3 or 4 maybe both. Does anyone know if this would cause my missing problem in lower Rpms?? Thanks,

Since I fixed up the wire it does not seem to have the studdering it had before and theres next to no vibration now(in the shifter). I haven't noticed a real power difference. The fix I did is only temp, until I can buy a set of wires.
