Ignition Coil? Just follow the middle wire on the distributor cap to it.

I was getting a misfire code on several cylinders on my V-8 yesterday, tested coil, was in specs. Took the distributor cap off to have a look and it was shot along with the rotor. $25 for parts no more misfire or service engine light

I had a similar issue. Was the code P0351?
'96-98 GC have PCM issues. It could be your coil, and it is cheap and easy to replace, but look out for the main computer issues.

Here is a pretty good explanation of the problem, and why it shows up intermittantly...
