first thing you need to do is a compression test on all cylinders. if you don't have a compression gauge you can rent one pretty cheap at most parts stores. if you have good compression and you have spark at all the cylinders and assuming you have 4 separate injectors, switch the injectors and see if your miss moves with them.try that and post what you have.

It has a Throttle Body Fuel Injection...looks like a carburetor though.
I had the same motor in a 1986 Cutlass Ciera....it's the Pontiac 151cu.in.
Iron Duke motor, tough piece.
You might look at the sparkplugs on the middle cylinders to see if they're fouled or not.

You have 1 injector body and they're pretty reliable.
Is the air filter oily?
