    How old are plugs and wires?
    An engine is an engine no matter the size.... I think Dr. Seuss said that... or maybe it was Big Weld....

    time for new plugs? and new wires. if you got the local parts store wires most have a warranty, will replace one time at least.

    icm can test good and be bad still, act up when they get hot.

    make sure the plug wires are not touching the o2 wires on the back side of the engine.

    I do believe cylinder 6 is the only plug wire that I have zip tied to something metal on the backside of the motor maybe that's what it is

    dont zip tie wires to metal. undo that, check the wire for damage. a grounded plug wire will misfire.

    Ok it wasn't zip tied it was in the spark plug holder on the rear close to the o2 sensor but not touching it was touching the o2 wiring so I repositioned that see what happens

    that might fix it. seen posts where guys had issues when the plug wire touched o2 wires.
