Blinking engine light, vehicle shakes climbing hill
and I mentioned the fuel going into the cat since that is usually what causes damage when it misfires, i know that that isn't actually what throws the light

Thanks guys. I probably asked that question prematurely, as I located the gap requirement on the data plate under the hood. Haha. Anyway, those plugs must have been in there for years. One required penetrating oil to remove and all were badly rusted around the threads. Drove back up the hill that prompted the light, all seems fine. Hopefully that's all it needed. Thanks a lot.
Had same issue just before coming home from long trip. Light flashed and I didn't find a thing, stopped looked around and got a nice shock from my new wires. The plug wire came out of holder and touched the manifold. Few wraps of electrical tape and the light went out. Miss fire just lights the light, I sucked up some water in a flash flood stream leaving work. #2 and 4 tripped.
