are the plugs all firing? run engine for 1 or 2 minutes then feel each one. oops, just realized they are set too deep to feel...um...how about one of those inexpensive little testors that you hold near each spark plug wire and the neon bulb would glow if it is functioning correctly...um...no spark plug wires...somehow determine if each on is firing ...how about ampmeter in circuit to each coil?

fuel pressure regulator? maybe youre running really rich so not able to burn off all the gas into the engine = misfire?... lots of vxers have had to replace their FPRs (including me) dont know that your symptoms are perfectly inline with the common ones for the FPR replaced.. but one of my issues was bad starting and i found that giving a little gas on start up helped that.. so maybe? im talkin out of my hind quarters right.. but its worth a shot.. they sell for about $50 new i beleive, DIY install

Does a faulty FPR cuase misfires normally? I do belive I am running to rich. Lots of exhaust and loss of mpg. Does a FPR fail due to the car sitting to long without use? I think the previous owner rarely drove the VX. I recall him stating he only put less than 10,000 miles on it in two and a half years and only about 350 in the last 6 months.

i think just generally they tend to fail on the VX.. dont know why but if you do a search you will find that many of us have had to replace them
