When I had a friend check with his Snap on tool it had a random misfire. So there is defiantly a problem there.
I have replaced the injection spider with the newer MFI system last year when I thought I had a stuck poppet and leaky regulator.
Yes these motors have a electronic MAF sensor in the snorkel.

I was scanning with a ELMSCAN 5 USB with Scanmaster software.
I will not be able to check for misfires on this tool.
Maybe those Mode 6 failures can tell me something if I can decipher them.

I am going crazy here because of the amount of things I have replaced.
The cap, rotor, wires and plugs are fairly new. They are also my second set after a shop replaced them again on me. I pulled the distributor on the weekend to look for a worn gear or shaft. Timing chain has some wear. I am thinking the camshaft retard may be off. These motors have a fixed distributor, so i would have to ovalize the hold down bolts to be able to adjust it.

Replaced so far in the last year and half
Plugs, wires, cap, rotor
Intake manifold gasket 5 years ago
Coolant temp sensor
Air filter
Fuel Injection spider
All 4 Oxygen sensors
Catalytic converter (old one was broken up inside)
