Arrow 95 misfire help? lots of info...

Ok my grand has had a misfire for a while now. It only does it if the engine is pulling or if im going up a hill. It's not enough to prevent me from driving but enough to stop me from offroading. I have replaced the plugs, The dist cap, roter, ignition pickup, ignition position sensor, fuel filter, and the fuel pump. nothing is helping this beast. I am not getting any codes at this time eather. Whats everyones thoughts on this? any help would do me wonders, thanks!

Did you replace the plug wires too? A pin hole in one of the spark plug boots can cause what you describe.

no but one of them the rubber part was slightly ripped and i just taped it up. I suppose i will probably replace them. Its an aftermarket set of plug wires now so ill just go oem. Unless there is something better? I figure it might be grounding with the block threw the tape?

Yep, the spark will "leak" out of damaged and worn wires under a load, not so much at idle.

I replace mine at every tune up, so I go mid grade.
