I have replaced the plugs, wires, cap & rotor, and the fuel filter. The dealer wants to replace all these parts again and charge me 500 for it. I need some Ideas. I took it to another mechanic and he sees it misfire with the scope while driving but can't pinpoint it.

I have this exact condition with my 97 yukon. The dealer replaced the intake manifold gasket. Now on high throttle settings like pulling my boat up a long hill all is well until I crest the hill and back off a bit. Then a really heavy misfire situation lasts for about 5 - 10 seconds. I think vacuum leak causing preignition might be the problem??? This week I got a flashing check engine too under the same load conditions. I really don't want to go to the dealer without a better idea. I have replaced plugs HT leads pcv valve and fuel filter. Any ideas??
