After giving my 94 1500 2wd suburban a badly needed tune-up in which I
replaced the alternator, battery, plugs, plug wires, Belt, Distributor,
Cap, rotor, and a new starter. She ran like a dream for 3-4 days when the
missing and backfire came back and started acting like nothing had been
done. I then tightened the throttle body plate and checked all the hoses
for obvious leaks and connections for the many sensors. Rechecked timimg,
checked fuel pressure and read 13lb as spec. Compression is 110-125 lbs
all around. All that seemed well. I replaced the plugs again with new AC
Delco and the rig ran like a champ again. It?s been one day since this
last work and the missing is coming back again fast. The missing is coming
under any type of load. I pulled the plugs again and they don?t look that
bad accept #5 is carboned-up.

   Sounds like a bad intake gasket sucking oil from the lifter valley! I
have had similar problems on a couple engines. Could be something else, but
it sure rings familiar!

Well, you may be right shades, I have considered a valve seal problem also.
I guess the next step is to do a complete compression check/troubleshoot
with all the plugs out and the engine warm to see if anything else is
wrong with the valves or rings. I don?t want to tear into the engine
manifold gaskets and find the seals or rings are bad and have to do it all
again. Maybe it?s time for a new rig.

   Intake gaskets are cheap and it would give you a look into the lifter
valley to see how clean your internals are. If you are gonna trade it off,
it will bring substantially more running right.

i had the same problem with my 91 and it turned out that one of the spark
plug wires was bad. when my truck was in park idling we pulled each plug
wire and no 5 was arking before we even touched it.
