I'm working with a 1994 4 cyl. 2.2L Camry. It suddenly started running rough. Like a bad miss. Replaced the plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor button....no change. There is fire going to the plugs (checked it by pulling the wires and grounding to metal) When I pulled the wire on one cylinder, there was no noticeable change in the way the engine idled. The others produced an even rougher idle when they were pulled. I'm thinking that is the problem cylinder. I'm thinking distributor coil is bad but not sure. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Sounds like wet or moist spark plug wires. If this also occurs during early morning high dew point humid air, then you may have spark plug wires shorting out.
Simplest,wait till it's dark outside,start the car,open the hood,look where the spark plug wires run,let your eyes get used to it for a minute,if you see a glow along a wire or sparks between them
Put a set on.
Might look inside the dist. cap and make sure the top dist. bushing is still tight,the rotor should not move side to side at all.
You need to have a full tune up done on the vehicle. Plugs, wires, air filter, dist. cap, dist. rotor, and oil service. This greatly increases the operation of the motor if they are old and worn. I hope that this points you in the right direction. Please rate if i was able to help you.
I am having the same problem.... Same car.. I replased all injectors,wires,plugs,dist. Cap and rotor. Pcv valve... Egr valve is good.. it runs great then starts missing bad,fuel smell out the tail pipe and it smokes.... Then it'll clear up for a bit or even a while the it repeats it self... And it seems to me like a sensor or something eletrical is causing the sudden miss and fuel problem.. but I'm lost... I don't know what else to do..
