Try getting some Berryman's B-12 Chemtool in the metal can.
AutoZone and some other auto part stores sell it.
My mechanic turned me on to it when MANY other products did not clean my fuel injectors.
I have several times come up with a miss that ended up being crud built up over the spray end of the fuel injector(s).
The Berryman's is one of the cheapest products......and easy.....just add to the fuel tank.
You may need to add 2 cans to treat your 20 or 25 (optional) fuel tank.
I had one time that I needed to treat 3 tanks of fuel to clean them up.
Now, I add a can about 4 times a year to prevent the issue.
Several times, I have chased my tail trying to figure out a miss........ending up with the Berryman's solving the issue.

Hey Toolman, Look under the post: "Misfire on cylinder 1." It's a 2 page post. A guy had a valve spring problem...
Looking forward to hearing of your fix!
