Welcome and good luck with the car.

Misfire could be the plug wires, or worn cap/rotor.

Welcome to the E30 world! Good to see there's another E30 rolling around queens. I can't help you with that issue u got, still in noob training but there are some well knowledgeable people on this forum that can help and there's threads for everything on here.
