Default Intermittent/irregular misfire

Hi all

For a while now I've had a very intermittent misfire that might occur once or at the most twice a day, many kilometers apart, or may not happen at all for hundreds of kilometers. It happens only at freeway (80kmh - 110kmh) speeds, and always when under very low, cruising load. It's a single misfire, that causes a brief increase in RPM and slight hesitation. However today, I encountered it once on the freeway, but also twice when sitting at a stop light and attempting to pull away slowly.

Some specifics:

Highway AFR ~ 14.5, idle - 12.5
Brand new PFR7B plugs went in about 1000km ago
New 1000cc injectors and fuel pump ~ 10K km ago
Unknown km individual coil on packs installed same time as pump/injectors.

The fact that I have no idea how many kms were on the packs when I installed them (bought from JWS when I built my engine) lead me to thinking it's possible one perhaps breaking down, in which case I'll just buy a brand new set of four, but other than that, I'm not sure where the problem is coming from.

Any internetz diagnosis welcome

Cheers, Alex.

No internet diagnosis from the gurus?

As the A/F readings are higher at low throttle and idle and also running 1000cc injectors, the plugs could be fouling causing the missfire.
Might simply be a case of trimming the low load fuel tables.
