Ok, 2001 Gt Auto, I`ve got a new fuel filter and tranny filter on the way, along with a haynes manual. Anyways the other day, it started missing, and seems like its getting a little worse. Seems like it gets worse as it warms up, but could just be me. 67k on the car, best places to start looking? I ordered a code reader this morning for it, because it popped on a service engine soon light, and of course half way through the day, the light goes out. Still missing though. Thanks guys.

As was said first get the code to see which cylinder in missing.

A mouse could have chewed through the injector wire, inspect them.

You could have liquid in your plug well, inspect them.

You could have a fouled plug, inspect them.

You could have a bad coil, swap the bad cylinder one to another cylinder and see if the problem moves with the coil.
