Here's a question for the Tech's

Ok off the top,
This is re: a 1992 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 "throtlebody" AT.
This things baffling me and another garage and I'm just about disgusted.
The car runs but has a slight miss at idle. Its not a steady miss its rather intermittant.
But when you try to accelerate with a load on the engine while in drive you cant get past an average of 20 mph without the engine:
A: either its running too lean.
B: its flooding itself.

I've Once had the check engine light trigger but it cleared itself about 2 minutes later. tried retreiving any codes with a snap on scanner but no codes. "it doesnt help this being OBD1 technology" =(

Sofar I have taken out the catalic converter and punched it out.
I changed the fuel filter, upon suggestion from a mechanic thinking its running lean I "just" changed the fuel pump and module.

This has only seemingly made the problem more apparent.
What I can see now is the plugs, Unsure of the firing order on this car but from left to right the first 2 cylinders are slightly carboned up and the other 2 are Clean.

Any sugjestions.?
I'm going to pull another coil pack off of my newest addition to the garage, a 1991 Cavalier Euro that had a blown head gasket.
Hoping that this may end with either a coil pack or ignition module.
