Ok ill start by saying my car is a 93 Eagle Talon Tsi yes it is a DSM and yes random misfiring is a common problem. Well to get things started my car has a random misfire you can hear it when it idles. I have changed the spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, and have checked the gapping they are roughly at .029-.031 i normally drive to Owens everyday back and forth and dont have a problem but recently i have had the car stumble or start jerking at like <10% throttle its a PITA to drive when it does this i can either get the problem to go away by letting off the throttle and trying to give it gas again sometimes this works but not alot or i can just floor it until it stops misfiring and turns back into a DSM and not a lawnmower. Can anyone help me fix this please its my DD and its getting to be annoying. Thank you guys. Also I have had the ignition coil taken out and checked at autozone which got the "ok..its good" so idk if that could be it or something else i have 550cc injectors that i thought might change it if it was a fuel delivery problem no CEL has ever came on and the bulb works fine it clearly comes on when you turn the key over to start it. OBD1 POS DSM....sigh
so after tightening the tester back up redid the test and found a small hissing coming from the top intercooler piping the intercooler had JB weld on it to cover up some 1mm holes. After cleaning the intercooler and patching up the small holes im going to put it back on do another boost leak test and post back to see if the problkem got worst/went away/ or cleared up a bit
