Surrey,
Ok so I'm having this problem with the car missfiring. Car shakes and misses. More noticable at lower RPM's around idle speed 700-1000rpm. I am not having any CEL's coming on due to the problem I have not noticed any drivability isses becasue of it. Also makes a weird high pitch noise coming from the Intake manifold area, im not seeing any arching and there are no visible rips/tears in the plug wires.

What ive tried so far:

-Boost leak test done (no leaks)
-New NGK plugs and wires
-Ran some fuel injector cleaner through the fuel system
-Pulled each injector plug and spark plug wire to see if I could isolate the problem

Wondering if anyone has any input or has experienced this same issue.
 
Ran a set of plugs for about 6months/6000kms and after i changed them just the other day they all looked the same. No sign of carbon buildup or detonation.

How do the plugs look after running for awhile? Any of them look brand new? Any of them have more carbon then the others? The plugs will tell you a lot in a misfire situation.
I m having similar problems how could i tell wich plug is giving me mise firering problems?
 
The plug that doesn't look like the rest of the plugs. One that has carbon build up, or looks like that cylinder has been detonating.
