Check the fuel pressure after shutdown.  It should hold for quite a while.
If it drops off quickly, you have a leaking injector.  Also check the hall
sender wires where they enter the distributor.  These can cause
intermittant ignition problems.

Subject:    85 wbx 1.9 miss at idle...more info

Hello all,
   first thx for some of the quick replies.  Some more
info.  I pulled the plugs after about 500 miles on a
trip (plugs were put in about mid september) and i
just recently pulled them to see how they were, they
look good.
Also, regarding the run on after shut down, (besides
checking plugs)  the tailpipe shows no sign of carbon
buildup.  I just checked the pressure regulator and
theres no gas in the vacuum end of things.  could one
of my supposed good plug wires be bad, even tho i got
spark on all four, and could not see any arc-ing to
the engine?
