So, about 3 weeks ago my 94 ST started getting a misfire. Initially, it was only under mid-heavy load, like going up a hill at relatively low revs. I replaced the spark plugs and it got better for a few days, then went back to the occasional misfire. However, a few days ago it suddenly got way worse. I pulled up to a stoplight, but when I went to take off, it would barely go. It's nearly undrivable. It's pretty much a constant misfire now. It seems to be cylinder #2. It tries to die if i pull a spark plug wire/unplug an injector from 1, 3, or 4, but nothing changes when i unplug either from cylinder #2.

I had changed out my spark plugs and wires probably less than a year ago. I rebuilt this engine June of last year, and have had a VERY slight miss with this engine all along. I assumed it was due to the ever-worsening crack in my exhaust manifold (located closest to the cylinder #2 exhaust port).
So:
---Rebuilt 18 months ago
---Replaced spark plugs about 2 weeks ago, the old ones weren't broken or particularly noteworthy
---Replaced spark plug wires within past year
---Switched over the injectors from my other 7A-FE thinking one may have been clogged, no change

Anyone have any ideas? Advance tells me they can't check the CEL code on anything pre-96.

Second edit to add that I replaced my distributor cap/rotor around the same time as my spark plug wires. I took the dist cap off today and cleaned up the contacts, they looked fairly bad again. Unfortunately that changed nothing.

Toyota factory book says the resistance for wires and cap together should be 25k ohms max.
the coil primary is 0.4-0.5 ohms, and the secondary is 10.2K -13.8K ohms
