A bidirectional scanner can do a power balance test to pinpoint the cylinder, than you can focus on a bad injector if this is a dead misfire. These parts were put to eliminate this problem?

Re: 98 lumina 3.1 missfire

was just about to suggest checking the injectors... you could always pull the pug wires as it runs... if it runs worse, that cylinder is fine, if there is no change, theres the cylinder thats giving you an issue....

The fuel rail and injectors were full of rust that was causing the missfire thanks for the tip maxwedge

I am having a similar problem, what kind of mileage and history does your lumina have?

Thanx
