Replaced Cap and Rotor No Help

So I got the cap and rotor replaced and the car still misses, cuts out and now stumbles real bad at low rpms, could it be the plug wires and spark plugs, that is what I am having changed next, the car is not putting out any codes?????

Could be...

Intake manifold leak.

Bad plugs and wires.

Bad EGR.

Does your oil pressure fluctuate at all?

yea when the car is cold the oil preasure is good, it runs good and does not miss either, when it warms up the oil preasure drops and it starts missing, stumbling and gas knocking

If you suspected them, you should have changed the plugs and wires first (might have saved you some $$). Getting any DTC's? Even with a new cap and rotor, there still could be problems with the optical section of the distributor.

Yea, you seem to have a plug / wire problem. At least, that's what was wrong w/ mine when I had a low RPM miss. Anywho, good luck getting em changed out! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun!
