    Engine Has A Miss

    I think it is on cyl #5 because that cyl has the least affect when I crack open each inj. line. Also, I don't see as much fuel squirting when I crack it. Could this be an IP problem? Air? I put new Delphi BB's in it about 800 miles ago. Could one have gone bad? I don't hear any additional...
