Default missing out

ok so my dad's 2000 gt has been missing out pretty bad, the plugs are good and all the ignition stuff is fine, gave it a tune up not too long ago, so what could be causing it? is it the weather? because it just started going it after the weather warmed up.....

so what kind of fun is the car "missing out" on?

Have you actually tested the coils? Could be a bad coil. Maybe one of the coils feels left out so it's having a trantrum

three things cause a miss:

no spark

no fuel

no compression

sounds like you are certain there is a spark, must be the fuel system and/or compression.

It's probably either a bad coil or maybe your fuel filter is dirty.

Don't count out the plugs either. On another car (laser) I had sparkplugs that just "went bad" and caused the car to start missing.Only had about 8k on them and they were melted down to the threads (platnium was). Its possible to get bad ones.
