I'm having a misfiring problem.
80q w/ NG engine.
Plugs, Rotor, and Cap are 7 Months old.

Check the contact with the ignition coil. I took a look at mine
recently and found some corrosion there.
Be sure to take a good look under the hood of your car in the dark. If
the insulation is breaking down somewhere, you will probably see a blue
glow or spark if you stare long enough. If your wires are original, you
are overdue for replacement.
Some "performance" wires may provide better insulation, but I would not
expect a noticeable performance improvement when compared to new OEM
wires.
Good luck,
Chris
