Missing continues

Hey guys I replaced the valve cover gaskets and plug ins. Still has a miss warm or cold. Does t really smoke white anymore. Just misses. Do I have a stuck injector? I have a TS chip and I can notice when I give it throttle down the highway it will randomly puff small amounts of black smoke. Some has already replaced a few injectors as they went out I noticed when I took the valve cover off. I never pulled an injector hoping these gaskets would solve the problem. Guess not. What's my next step guys? Appreciate any and all input on this

Eesh all this grammar police..

You need to do a buzz test and see if its just one weak. Also checking armature clearance may help to find condition of the injectors.lastly a compression test will help to know if you just have injector issues or a worn cylinder

Subscribed. Truth be told, I can't hear a miss. It sounds about like it should, but you would know since you drive it every day. Hopefully others will chime in pretty soon. Does it pull going down the road or does it buck through the powerband?

Goes down the road fine. I suspect a bad or weak injector. You can see when I rev it up to 1100 rpm she has an odd couple pops an white smoke. Could you see how bad it shook in the video? I can definitely hear the miss in the exhaust. I'll make another video of it later I the exhaust and more engine and anything else. Thanks for the input
