car runs great no misfire while it runs but after a 40 mile drive and let it iddle for about 5 mins it missfires any ideas :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::idontknow::idontknow::dsm:
 
I did a compression test
Cylinder. Psi.
1. 135
2. 170
3. 165
4. 170
Could it be a worn out crankshaft bearing :confused: :confused:
 
Two, three, and four seem okay, but one is definitely outside the service limit.
Do a leak-down test.

Also, recheck the gap on your #4 plug.
 
Will check ptu and do a leakdown test

Ok so I pulled the spark plugs out and I pluged them in and crank the motor and I got a weak spark on cylinder #4 what can cause that
 
Did a leak down test loosing about 15% in all cylinders what should I gap my plugs to I read some other post they say to gap them at .020. I also pulled my cam positioning sensor it had some fine metal shavings and oil. Is it supposed to have oil in the cam positioning housing

turned out to be bad intake gasket
