I'm gonna go ahead and say I know the issue but I haven't had a chance (as its night time) to take a look yet. I personally believe its just my dizzy rotor and cap because they haven't been changed in who knows how long (atleast 7 years) but theres nothing wrong with a second opinion.
So anyways on to the issue. My car is misfiring. Its a decent amount during idle (sounds like my car is caming when listened to exhaust side) and really bad when its under heavy load in the lower RPM range. You can visible watch the tach flutter wildly typically when it occurs. It almost stalled me out when I was going up a hill today cause I was cruising at 1.5k rpm in 5th. Its noticeable at times when just going down the road as you can feel it die down and then pick back up as it jerks the car (mind you my struts are way past dead so it doesn't take much to jerk it). Now I know I already have an electrical issue somewhere with my clock/trunk light/curtsey light/map light/seatbelt light/door ajar lights but I highly doubt this is related. Already checked the exhaust for oil and there was none. So without further ado, the videos: Exhaust Motor Wheel Well Interior Plugs and wires have under 15k on them. Will be checking them tmrw also though. All the grounds are good. Haven't checked the codes (my ECT sensor code is stuck on even though I changed it) lately need to do that also. Edit: Cylinder 2 wasn't firing at all so I had been on 3 cylinders (like I had thought). Wasn't sparking from cap. Changed out my rotor (was bad) cap (was bad), wires (were falling apart) and plugs (were good). Now shes firing on all 4 and running good.
