Default 5K Rough engine idle

I recently came back from a 200 mile road trip and noticed that my 1986 5k non-turbo (150k miles on it) is idling really rough. I check all the vaccum hose and did not find a leak. Also the air filter, plugs and wires are all relitivey new. The injectors have been checked and spray fine Although I did notice that the last spark plug had oil on it and none of the others did. Any help would be great. Thanks

Default Sounds like you might be misfiring on that last cylinder...

you might want to check your cap and plug wire. Having a wet plug most often idicates that it is not firing.
