Did you put a vacuum gauge on it and what did the vacuum gauge say or do{a vacuum gauge would show a broken valve spring}. Also a compression test would help you fine a low cylinder that would only show up as a miss at idle. I hope's this helps.

Tonight I am going to put a vacuum gauge on it and see what it does. I agree that could tell me alot. Should had already done that.
