Alot of things can cause misfire, fuel, spark , compression. If you think it is spark, you can take a digital multimeter, lo voltage setting, Engine idling, tough spark plug wire with meter lead, you know how to use digital multimeter, correct. You don't take the plug wire loose or penetrate the insulation, it's an inductive reading. I've seen readings like .6 or .7 volt, not even a full volt. now, if you find reading, bouncing off zero, there is your problem. Maybe a coil issue? The problem may not be spark? any applicable trouble codes? Is this vehicle coil near plug ignition?
