so I got this pig going and it runs rough. pretty spewing. Ive tried unplugging each injector and each illicit a response so im confident they are doing their job. Got spark at each cylinder. I'm suss on the fact that the miss gets worse as the car heats up to the point it starts popping out the exhaust at idle. my guess is valves. anyone have experience with DMI or Coils or CAm or crank sensors playing up when the car gets up to operating temp? thanks

Could be something simple, like spark plug leads. If they haven't been changed in a long time you might want to try that.
