To help you with the problem we are goig to need a lot more info. LIKE Any check engine or flashing check engine lights or codes? How are the plugs and wires and dist cap and fuel pressure? Low fuel pressure and bad plugs and wires are the main cause of engine a miss. A long with many other things. How many miles on it and how many miles on plugs and what kind of plugs? What is fuel pressure readings?

If that code or any other code comes back repair for that code. Confirm good fuel pressure. Confirm and make sure you have good ac delco plugs and cap and rotor and check plug wires and good hot blue spark from coil. Check dist shaft for side play. If engine is missing you should be getting a code for that cylinder missing.

air intake temp would be the MAF. I would rather have the actual codes before making recommendations. 130,ooo miles is low . could very well be bad plug wires /plugs. |
