Default Can't find the miss

I have a miss on the drivers side bank and I cannot seem to find the cause of it. I used to have one on the pass side but it turned out to be the wire not pushed onto the cap all the way lol. But the drivers side has me stumped it has new plugs and wires the cap looks fine as does the rotor. It is a partial miss too not like if you took the plug wire off or something. Also the plug wires are not arching. The miss also seems to be much more pronounced when the car is warm. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

I guess bending them a bit should fix that. I'm thinking that is not my problem though.

If you're going to be an a$$hole, no one is going to want to help you. You really should just pull codes.

I am going to pull codes tomorrow which I stated already. I asked another question with has nothing to do with pulling codes. And that was directed at the person trying to jack his post count up by making a mindless post. No offense intended for anyone else.
