In a similar situation we had one misfiring with fault codes logged for multiple misfires. Customer had replaced cap, rotor leads and plugs with new, substituted the coil pack/amplifier assembly.
Turned out to be a failing fuel pump.

Interesting. How did you troubleshoot it to a fuel pump? How easy are they to change on these?
