Ok so I started this in the knock sensor holding you back thread and decided to start a new one. After replacing some injectors the car ran great. It sat a few weeks and the customer picked it up and said it was running worse then when he brought it to us. So after the weekend i came back in to see this black beast staring at me. I go and drive it and sure as hell its running like it did before i did the injectors. So i pull the plenum per my boss and recheck the injectors all ohm good none leaking all spraying. Put the plenum back on it and go to start it, Nothing. Found the starter had crapped out. So off the plenum comes again 3rd time in 3 weeks, get down to the starter and low and behold, a mouse created a home. Plugged the drain chewed on the purple starter wire and managed to kill the starter with his lil rat bladder. Got the starter in put the car back together (which im getting pretty good at if i dont say so myself). Hit the key it fires up, running nice and smooth, sweet thought i fixed it. NO (car god smacks me in the face). Pretty sure I got it down to a ignition miss, anybody have any tricks to finding a miss? Pulled plugs all look good like its running great. Regapped and reinstalled but the miss is still there. If anybody has any suggestions or ideas I'm all ears.
Car is a 92 with 24000 on the clock OEM AC Delco plugs, driven not beaten.
