Maybe try leaning it out if you have software.
My car developed a miss from being too rich.
When I leaned it out the miss went away.

On the front of the engine, driver's side on the head, is a finned aluminum mount with the ignition module on it. I'd get it tested first off. Autozone will do it free.
