2003 GMC safari missfire

Topic starter

History-Bought vehicle run down. Fixed it so it runs well. Then had a random misfire. Tuned it up with plugs, wires, rotary cap, and button. Ran great. 2 months later it happened again. Took it to a mechanic...he suggested spider injectors. I replaced them. Same issue. Was at the end of my rope looking at the engine running at night when I saw a spark.  Brand new wires were arching. Replaced them. Runs great. A few months later... misfire again...noticed one morning fuel was dripping out of the evaporator vent valve. Replaced. Ran well for a couple of days but the misfire returned. Filled up with gas one day and noticed fuel leaking from the vent valve again. I did a vacuum test on vacuum lines. Had -17. seemed to be okay for my elevation. I am wondering it is the plugs again...but I just can't imagine its another brand-new set. One thing I should note...I put in Flex fuel and am curious if that could have damaged the plugs? Any thoughts Scott? code, p0171,p0174,p0455,p0507

you'll have to run it out of the system

you probably need to replace your charcoal canister. Measure the fuel pressure while you're at it.
