hi guys.
I have a 93 mx3 v6 with 226000 miles. had it for about five months. it been a great car, but know it started to give me problems.
when its cold it rans fine but when it warms up it misses.
it only misses when i take off or when i stomp on the gas pedal, its more like a stumble /other than that it rans great it got plenty power
i have been dealing with this problem for the past two week but I cannot figure it out

I have replaced
wires 7mm and plugs (ngk)
put a new cat
change iac valve
put a new cap and rotor
but steel doing the same thing
any info would be very helpfull I really like this car And would love to have it running good again

What colour were the plugs when you pulled them out? Do you get the check engine light?

was getting a code #06
the plugs were a little black and have some white color at the tip
it just started doing that a couple of wek after i did the tune up

I found out hat the wires were arching so replace them but I still have the same problem
fix the arching after the fifth set
they were sparkin araund the manifold
