He described it as random misfire.

okay so got a job now and this is getting taken care of as its pissing me off im going to go buy a fuel pressure tester. as i have a suspicion that the fuel pump it dieing (still the cheap champion plugs need to go) the guage is wack as hell im talking going only 60 miles on the first half then 140 on the second half then the next tank 100 and 100. also the car us only getting about 21 mpg strait highway if that.

so would a dieing fuel pump make since for a misfire? as today it was bad it acts like its on 5 cyl but if i rev it to 1k it runs perfect

fuel pumps start to give up these days and the pressure starts going away and then the injectors dont have enough fuel causing the misfire. since youve already done reg im leaning toward the pump or the copper plugs. i tried to put those in my old 3100 GP and it ran worse than the old plat. plugs i had in it
