The first step is to get it scanned for trouble codes. Now, since it's a '95, it's OBDI, but it has an OBDII port, and that confuses a lot of people.

There are some codes that do not turn on the SES.

I'd check the wires again.

mopar man before i changed the wires the were arcing on headers so i got dei ire protectors and other wrap and completly covered the spark plug wires so they do not arc. also my egr may need replacing that wouldnt cause th miss fire would it? i plan on just blocking it off will that throw a code and cause further problems else were?

paul 94z28 i also was told by msd tech support that the opti's bearings in the input shaft will go bad there fore causeing the rotor button and ect, to fluctuate and case the miss? what about the ignition module could that be a cause?????
