I haven't seen anyone posted a problem like mine. But the bottom left side of the coil pack, I believe nipple number 2 is corroded. The other 3 nipples are fine, but this one is orange and looks rusty when I took the spark plug wires off. Anyone care to explain how this can happen. My engine seems to be running on only 3 cylinders or the eninge is still flooded with oil and I'm leaning towards this damn coil pack.

You say that it feels like it is on 3 cylinders then flooded with oil? WTF? What makes you think its flooded with oil? Clean the contact point... wierd problem for sure. What exactly is up?

well, moisture obviously got in there and corroded it. mfg's use some sort of paste or gel when securing electrical connections like that. you can pick some up at ricezone or any auto parts store. it just prevents moisture from affecting electrical connections. and if its corroded...and your only running on 3 cyl...then there is your problem. you should however be able to just brush off the oxidation from the connection. also check the metal peice inside the plug boot...im sure it got corroded if the nipple did.

I'm sorry gents. I meant to say it was flooded with gas. I'm throwing a CEL 52 which is for running rich and two CEL 21 which is for O2. Well I don't have a rear O2 hooked up. so that solves that problem. As for the 52, I'm gonna switch over to the 2.72 disk and largest ring on the SFMU, since the largest disk and no ring combo seems to be flooing up my engine with gas everytime I floor it.
