Damn, that's a new one. Really haven't the slightest. One other check would be to reinstall the factory tune and see what happens.

where are you at in alabama? i might be able to give a first hand opinion.
I am not entirely sure i understand the problem you guys are having
Is it a ticking noise?

missfire's are often plugs are not gapped right, arching as said before, bad coil packs, wires in the wrong spot (ie 4&6 swapped or something stupid like that)...basically what i am getting at is a missfire is an electrical issue not really a mechanical issue to start out anyways.
