scots, silent, and crak all great posts, you guys really tied it all together for me....
the coils do come in one big coil pack so I would have to replace the whole thing... thanks scots also for the advice on resetting the computer... If that is the case, I will unhook the positive lead, hook up the new pack and then test it out....
I am hoping this has a high chance of being it considering the other dude had the same thing.... I also assume it will be the coil pack because 1) I just replaced wires and plugs..... 2) both the coil and plugs are saying they are malfunctioning.... 3) only some of the plugs are misfiring and that points to a portion of the coilpack...if it was upstream from the coilpack I think all would show problems....
Autozone advertises that they can test the coil if I bring it in....
I will pick up the hayes manual just in case... if this does not work I assume I have to use the method described by crak600 to test the voltage drop at each point back from there in the wiring harnesses etc to find where the problem is into the wiring etc upstream from the coil pack....
