My daughter's totally stock 97 200SX SE-R is doing the same thing, a MIL
light indicating random cylinder misfire.  She replaced the spark plug
wires, distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs to no avail.  The plugs she
replaced looked normal.  Julian helped her go through the FSM procedure for
finding the fault, but all appears normal.  The car has no drivability
problems and gets 30+mpg on her commute to work.

I suggested she put some black tape over the "Check Engine" light.  That
should do it.  8^)
