Perry, You have to check the cap for a sign of a bad/warped distributor.
Mine had those same signs missign cylinder...but sometimes on all 4s at
high revs. A new cap may have knicks on the firing cylinders, while
having carbonation around the missing cylinders distributor cap contact.
A used distributor can cost $100-$125.
