    I have a 97 sl2 with 127k on it and under a load it mis-fire i chec
    fuel pressure it's 36-42 from idle and when brake torqued. I als
    replace wires ,fuel filter and pcv . my next guess is fuel injector
    because i think it's fuel related because all coil pack are firing ok
    also has engine lite on for egr and cat-converter. i replace egr wit
    two use ones with no difference

    Operating Pressure should be 40-55 psi.

    Wires should be below 12,000 ohms. Are they?

    What plugs did you use?

    Do you have egr and converter codes?

    out is was a broken intake manifold gasket.

    my next guess is fuel injectors

    Doh! Before your guessing costs you even more money and still doesn't fix
    the problem, please consider either having the codes read and/or getting a
    diagnostic performed at your local Saturn dealer. If it saves you from
    having to replace ONE part that you don't need to, it has paid for itself.

    I had gone through all the ECM codes. All it would say is misfire
    cylinder #1.
