    You may have a problem with a worn distributor. With the cap and rotor off check for excess play in the distributor shaft or excess oil residue in the distributor housing. If the distributor checks out ok you may need some help from a shop of a friend with a scan tool so that you can look at engine data when the fault occurs and try to isolate the problem.

    A valve seat issue is one possbile case for an engine misfire that you cannot feel.
