Troy.
I see your point about if the misfire started after the cam sync replacement, I would have to agree on that part and a good chance it is the problem. However, I had a coil pack on its way out and never cause a CEL and would only buck when I was coasting at about 45mph and barely touch the gas. Idled fine and accelerated fine as long as you didnt barely tap the gas.
