Sometimes it would come back later on, but other times it never did it again. I have no clue why it does it. I haven't tried to dig into it much. I tried the fuel filter with no change. In late 2016 the distributor was replaced, & shortly thereafter the fuel pump & sending unit were also replaced. The miss wasn't there before that work was done.
I'm thinking this is a fuel problem. Because my exhaust stinks of gas. I'm thinking its the fuel injection spider. Mine is the old style still. And if its leaking, just 1 drop of fuel could cause the engine to stumble
