[s-cars] HELP! 4 cylinders just isn't enough....

Hey Brian,

  If you get the miss at idle it's easy to narrow it down by unplugging the injectors until you find one that doesn't make it run rougher. That will be the missing cyl. Then you can swap the POSes and see if the miss moves to another cyl or goes away. Usually a constant miss will be the POS.
