'94Bonne misses- I had the same problem 65,000 miles ago- went to a dealer and they diagnosed new wires and plugs(platinum). I did the job myself and it did the trick. Now, I have a miss in 1 cylinder. I sprayed the 3 coil bank with water while running, and eventually it started arcing. Used some silicone on the wire and put it back on the coil. The car ran terrific. i parked it and my wife drove it to work a few days, and now the car is missing once again. This time I can't get an arc with the water test. Does anybody out there know what may be going on. I have a notion to replace the plugs and wires again. I did use GM Delco wires and Platinum plugs, the car has 227,000 miles.

Id replace the platinum plugs with the standard ones.
See if that fixes your ignition miss.

Check to make sure one of the rear wires is not very close to or resting against the O2 sensor wires.

Also, check out your ingition coils.

Pull all 6 plugs and keep them in order. Take a good pic of them and post it here.
