Well, considering it's an EF and we don't have a dizzy, it's gotta be:
- one of the coil packs,
- one of the leads, or
- the ECU itself

Hope this helps.

Pete.

if its a coil it would be 2 cylinders misfiring.. I would suggest leads as plugs have already been done. To diagnose a little better, see what lead you can pull off without the engine getting much worse. Lead sets for EF's are not cheap.. but get some good ones.. does it get any better when the air-con is turned on or off? or when you have the wheel at full lock when stationary?

if its leads and/or plugs, you cannot diagnose this at idle, it needs to be under load.
