help me figure out this miss fire, PLEASE.

Had lots of vehicles but never one that runs like this. It is a 94 Chevy tracker. 4cyl 16 valve multiport injection engine. It will not hold a constant speed without a miss fire. 30 mph or 50 mph on a flat road it will sound like it has dropped a cylinder. Engine starts easy, without hardly even cranking. Idles smooth as silk. Accelerates without hesitation and pulls strong all the way to redline without a miss. I have changed plugs, cap, wires, and rotor because it sounds like an ignition miss. This made no change. I have seafoamed and ran techtron though the tank this made no difference. Seems low load, light throttle should be when the engine is working the least. I can't figure why this one doesn't like to run there. FWIW I get no SES light, no smoke, no fluid usage. Anyone ever had an engine behave like this? Thanks

Disconnect the EGR valve, if the miss goes away, you know which area to focus on.

Have you checked the Throttle Position Sensor? I had a truck years ago that would run quite rough at just above idle. Turned out to be a dead spot in the TPS causing the computer to go crazy trying to tune the engine parameters for a throttle position (voltage) that was bouncing around. Engine would idle fine, accelerate fine and run at a faster RPM fine.
