    Please if absolutely anyone can shed some light on my current situation, I would be most grateful. I bought this car October last year, and have been dumping money into it ever since trying to get it back to ground zero. I am down to a P0304 OBDII engine code, Ive done everything that I know to do including taking the car to a mechanic (he had it for a month and a half and couldnt figure out the problem). Heres a list of work Ive done so far.

    -New Bosch Double Platinum Plugs
    -New Autolite Wires
    -New Bosch Distributor, Cap, Rotor
    -New Timing Belt
    -New Ignition Coil
    -New Fuel Injector (#4)
    -New EVAP Purge Valve
    -New PCV Valve
    -New Oil Cooler Seal
    -New Coolant Hoses (All Upper and Lower)
    -New Thermostat
    -New New Coolant Temperature Sensors (Both)
    -New Brakes Front and Rear

    Thats just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head. I am tired of throwing my time/money at it and already have about 3 times more invested in it than I paid for it! Please help, is there anything else that may be causing the misfire? Here is a little more information on it. I bought the OBDII reader from Advance Auto and when I clear the misfire code after the motor has warmed up, it will stay off for the rest of the day (as long as the motor is kept warm). However, when the motor is cold and i start it, the light comes on within 3 to 5 minutes everytime. If you need to know anything else then just ask. The Car has 182,500 miles on it. Thanks
