Yay! fixed the misfire problem
Had a random misfire since i got the car... cant believe the hours i went through trying to figure this out... Started from changing the Ignition coils and ignition module... plugs/wires... etc
It was the damn MAF sensor the whole time!
i picked one up from the car yard off an oldmobile and voila!! no more stuttering or kicking/bucking .
Hope to help out other suckers having similar problems

no i found out it was the MAF because usually it would work and sometimes not. So i pulled over one time, shut the motor off, tapped the MAF. Restarted her and fired her up without any problems. That when i found out it was the sensor the whole time.
And yes i tried unplugging it, ran the same, tapped it , plugged it in and Paa! worked.. odd so i replaced it.
It could of been an expensive fix too, lucky i got it from one of my buddies @ the car yard. This thing runs around $200-$500 new.

yea it was bad solder because the socket housing could be pulled out 1/8 to 1/4 way out from the MAF
a quick tap usually was a temporary fix
