I have inspected the plug wires and they are recent and look fine. They are Beru brand. I pulled one plug and it did look somewhat worn (grey powder all over anode). I was able to pull one plug wire at idle and have the miss not change, thinking I was on to something. Then I went and pulled another one, and it did not change either.. I am thinking this is a miss across all 8 cylinders.

I am wondering if this is a common problem/common fix. Any help appreciated!
