**Solved**
Coil #3 was bad and the ultimate cause of this particular misfire.
Hey R3v,
I have a 1991 318iS with a 1992 M50B25NV swapped into it. I performed the swap myself. Important mods/information:
-~1200 miles on the swap
-~190K on the M50. Prior to install in my e30, I redid the top end (disassembled, jet washed, lapped valves, new HG, ARP head studs, new seals from oil pan to valve cover, new intake boot, etc.)
-Stock + original 402 DME
-Stock + original green top injectors, new o rings
-Stock AFM, some cone filter CAI
-eBay headers, 3 inch catless exhaust, Summit Racing muffler
-New Mann fuel filter
-New spark plugs
-E36 Getrag G250 and medium case 3.73 LSD
Symptoms:
Car runs great. There are no CELs. There are no vacuum leaks. Idles nicely. Above roughly 5000 RPMs there is a misfire only at, or very close, to WOT. The miss is "minor" and it will still pull to redline in 1st, 2nd, 3rd despite the miss. It will pull to redline without a miss on partial throttle. It will miss regardless of gear/speed and will miss regardless of mashing the pedal or rolling in. I tried pulling coil packs one by one, one at a time, at idle, but each coil was working and RPMs changed.
Moreover, sometimes I will have a miss just off idle, when you are engaging 1st and pulling from a stop, but the miss will clear very quickly and the car will run smooth. It does not run rich, gets good gas mileage and, as stated, runs buttery smooth and very strong despite the high RPM WOT miss.
Any ideas, 24v gurus? I don't want to throw six new injectors at it just yet.
