Why is my supercharged 3800 missing when I accelerate, though it idles good?
What is your question?
This problem started a month ago. It will cruise fine at 75, but accelerating to cruising speed, it feels like only 5 cylinders are hitting. The vacuum gauge reads a steady 20 at idle. Since it started missing, I've done the following: 1)changed the fuel filter, 2) changed the spark plugs, 3)changed the plug wires, 4) replaced the entire coil pack. The air filter was just replaced a month ago.

Nobody had touched the plug wires or coils for several thousand miles before the trouble started, but I did double check the firing order after I replaced the plug wires. It finally started giving me a trouble code indicating (according to OReilly's reader) that cylinder one was not firing. After again replacing that plug and plug wire without a change in result, I did an ohm check on the fuel injector and it was fine.
Last night I dropped the car off with a mechanic; if it's internal, it's too much for me.
