Plug wires?
Would the miss be there all the time or set off the check engine light??

No holes anywhere. Haven't herd any kind of exhaust leaks.

I've had lots of other nitpicky little sounds that I initially though were an engine noise so poke around a bit. My '97 was a pain in the butt with similar hard to diagnose problems and I had the check engine light every other week it seemed (different ones :bash:).
Good luck... I traded mine in for a Cummins - the engine noise covers up whatever other problems there are :chuckle:

I have a 1997 ford. It has a weird miss while in drive at a idle. When I put it in gear and have the brake on is when it does this. When I speed up it will go away. when It is in park it runs fine with no miss. It is driving me crazy!! :bash: Any info would be great. Thanks
Are you sure it's a '97? :chuckle: Because if you had said '77 this would be a classic case of the brake vacuum throwing your timing advance off. As it stands I have no idea why a '97 would do this related to the brake being depressed. Interested in seeing what the solution is.

I think the coilsand injectors as mentioned prior are reasonable places to look.
