Hello Volks,

Spent the past week trying to track down that misfire.  Thanks for all
the suggestions.  This week I re-sealed the entire induction
system(all new gaskets and hoses), so now I have NO vacuum leaks.  I
tried another distributor and coil, I installed a new fuel filter.  I
put it on an oscilloscope-everything looked fine.  And I replaced 3 of
the injectors(the 4th has not arrived yet).  When I first installed
the injectors the engine sounded very different.  I thought that the
miss was gone.  The next morning I installed new distributor springs
(mine were weak) and the miss is back!  The engine does not sound like
I did anything!  Arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

Also, I tried to isolate the missing cylinder(by pulling the plug
wires one at a time) but it appears to be a couple of cylinders
missing at once.

The hunt goes on...
