I'm sorry, I should have been more specific when I said it hits 160. I'll be cruising along, at an O2 trim between 80-100 and as soon as I get to the point(s) (I have 2 points now in the 2600 - 3200 rpm range), it misfires and the o2 trim spikes up to 160 and then back down between 80-100. If I stay at the same RPM point it'll do it constantly and the o2 trim will bounce back and forth.

I've tried richening up the mix, so that when I hit those points I'm cruising at an O2 trim of 60-70, but it still misfires and it still spikes up to 160 and then back down to 60.

Since the O2 trim spikes to 160 seem to happen regardless of how rich the tune is during closed loop, I have a feeling the spikes to 160 are a result of the misfire and not the cause, but then again, this is only a hunch. It seems like it would make sense though, with all that unspent air being dumped into the exhaust, the o2 sensors would read lean. I just can't think of what could be causing the problem. You'd think it would have to be something that partakes in the closed loop fuel adjustment, but what??
