Hi guys, im new to this forum and im kinda desperate. i have a 1995 Toyota Celica ST 7afe 5 speed with 219xxx miles.. my car has recently been misfiring randomly. i get no CEL. it will just idle fine one second misfire for a second and recover. its very sluggish. i lost about 75mpg per tank. and it jerks on accelleration.. im just looking to see if anyone else has had the same problem. i seem to think it is my distributor. i pulled the #1 wire from the distributer and watched the spark and it doesnt spark constantly. i also seem to think it could be my valve seal leaking oil on the spark plug causing it to miss. my valve seals have been going. if i let my car sit for a few days and start it up it smokes some. its been that way since ive bought the car but it never misfired. im about to make a video of it tonight. my budgets tight and im just trying to make sure that's what i need to replace so any help is appreciated. thanks, jake.

when was the last time you gave the car a tune up? try changing the cap and rotor.
