2.9L Miss-Fire HELP!!!!!!

I have a 1988 Bronco II 2.9L w/ a bad miss-firing problem. It happens mostly on the Hwy when the engine is at propper opperating temperature. Without warning the engine dropps a cylinder (or 2?) and goes down on power to the point that maintaining any kind of speed requires pening the throttle all the way. If i let the throttle out i can hear a pop pop pop sound comming from the engine compartement (fuel in the exhaust manifold?). If i can manange to get the truck up over 120km/h (75mph) often times it will "pop" a few quick times and then pick up the dropped cylinder again.

i Have replaced
Distributor cap and rotor
Plugs (ngk)
wires

I have done a code scan and it's not currently throwing any codes.


The truck is goin into the local dealership tommorow but i have no idea what direction to point them in


Any sugestions?

Do you have any unusual smoke, how's the fuel pressure, the compression, any gas in the fuel pressure regulator's vacuum line?
