If miss is generally in a high load/low rpm condition (e.g. hill at 50 mph), a failing coil pack can cause that. Plugs and plug wires can also cause but sounds like you have changed. These will not set any codes.<P>Did the mechanic actually read the values (e.g. closed loop, O2 transitions, TPS .5v at idle/4.5 v at WOT) or just trust the computer ?<P>Mine had nearly new Autolites in it & had a minor miss at idle. Replaced with AC RapidFire #3s and miss is gone. Have had very good luck with RapidFires (plug plug) in all my cars.

replaced o2sensor.still miss..removed coil pack and found sticky substance underneath..I think this is ignition module...if it is at fault how do I remove it?I drive a 1990...I see something in front by wiring that looks like a plug (bolt) of some kind....

Note you suggest a TPS of .5v at idle/throttle closed postion. Hal suggested I use .4v. Which is correct for the 1990 motor?
