If its an engine miss there are several things to do; depending on the age and mileage you can remove the coils and clean up any corrosion with sandpaper since the the frame is grounded through the bolts, wirebrush the bolts, if the plug wires are old they may need replacing, use dielectric grease in the plug boots to prevent future corrosion, lightly coat the bolts with regular or dielectric grease for corrosion prevention also. Clean the throttle body inside and out with carb cleaner especially the linkages to free them up. The plug gaps should be 0.040 inch/0.02mm(?). Have you checked the two-wirecoolant sensor for a cracked tip leading to all sorts of engine running problems? The original coolant sensor(ECTS) is resin tipped and the replacement is brass and is a must-do repair! Look closely at the two-wire connector for any corrosion and replace it if necessary, one from a junk yard taken from the air temperature sensor wiring or from the dealer.
