Misfiring cant figure why....

[eclipsews4]

I have a 1996 toyota paseo 5EFE w/120000 miles. My car misfires and I cant figure out why. I changed the spark plugs and the sparkplug wires and also both of the ignition coils. I also checked the fuel filter and it looks good to. It started very abruptly and I had to limp home in 3rd gear just so that I wouldnt put stress on the motor. When It first happened the car died and wouldnt start for a while and showed to be super hot. After changing parts It worked alot better but still misses alot and gets worse the longer you drive it.
Any advice would be apreciated.
Thanx

i recomend you check your valve timing and ignition timing. most likely if you already changed your ignition coils, plugs, and wires, then thats the next main cause besides the whole distributor (rotor,cap,housing etc.). however checking the valve timing is expensive unless you know a cheap place with the right tools (not a dealership) dealerships will charge on average about $400 to check valve timing. if you know your car well enough and think you could do the work yourself i can give you a link to a website that sells toyota special service tools. there expensive for tools but not even $400 so might be worth it. also it says that your car died and that you had to drive in third. is this because it seem to be only running on three cylinders like real loud, choppy, rough, and hard to keep it running? if so you might have a stiky valve or lifter wich could be replaced at the same time when your checking the valve timing. hope this helps. if you have anymore questions let me know. GOOD LUCK
OOHHH DO YOU HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ??????
