Random miss, any ideas?

Hey, I have a random miss on my 92 GT and just can't narrow it down so I'm just looking for suggestions at this point. I found a lot of idle issues posted, but most had to do with a roaming idle due to the ICV. I cleaned that and its very steady at idle but I still have my misfire. Its only once the engine has been run for a good ten minutes or more that I feel it. When driving, I feel no miss, only at idle. It happens at both the normal speed idle and the faster idle when the AC compressor kicks on.

I want to check the ignition timing to make sure thats in spec but so far in the past few months:

new plugs
new o2 sensor
new Coolant temp sensor
newer cap, rotor, and plug wires (PO did a tuneup right before I bought the car)

Cam timing is correct
No codes.


So, any ideas?

Misfiring injector? Check connection.
You've already covered all the other bases.

I'll double check the connections and use my stethoscope to make sure they're clicking away once its warmed up when there's a miss. The only other possible thing I can think of is maybe the ignition coil is becoming heat soaked but that is a very long shot.

I agree.. I was going to say Ignition coil as well.. I had a random misfire situation as well that was solved with a new ignition coil. Only thing I can think of considering you've replaced everything else as far as I see
