I have never been so glad to finish something in my life. The valve cover leaked so bad the oil soaked wires were pushed off from crankcase pressure PCV valve plugged. I was sure surprised to find it still had a miss. I have to admit I chased my tail until I figured out that the coil was dead on just 1 cylinder total brain fart yes those 4 in one coils can miss on one cylinder. I guess the 20 miles of driving with the engine light flashing probably killed it. Then because I thought the wires being off was the obvious problem I never pulled the codes. Well it's not the first whippen I got but the old man purple skin and hose clamp cuts were bad on this one. Pull the driver steer tire and wheel liner for the PCV access still gets me. Thanks for the replies. Mark.
