Hey guys. So just bought a 1998 VT Commo just cause I can and it had a bad missfire so I bought it and just assumed it was a spark issue. Anyway got new plugs and leads and new coils packs threw it all in within the order it needs to be and it runs a lot better but still has a missfire even under load. What do I need to look at next? All help is appreciated.

Get Car Scanned to see if there is any underlying issues, or DTC's in the history,

Then the things that first come to mind are as follows -
Vac Leak,
LIM Gaskets,
Faulty injector,
Faulty injector Wiring,
Blocked injector,
Could be many other sensors,
there is a few things to start with

Under load would be DFI. I had stuffed plugs and leads but I first swapped the DFI with another one I had and the misfire disappeared... changed plugs and leads after and not much of a difference but shuddering/acceleration under load issues were still gone
