I would first get rid of those wires, buy a set of 8 mm silicone wires from British Parts of Utah.I would not do anything with the coils, both failing is highly unlikely. Another possibility would be the water may have cracked the ceramic portion of those 2 plugs.

 

I was going to get 8mm wires, but I couldn't get them in time. figured these duralasts would get me through my trip. I've got a friend coming to help me out that's a mechanic, so I should get it sorted out today. I just bought some NGK Iridiums as well.

 

I changed the plugs, still throwing codes for cylinder 4 & 5 misfires.

The code reader also showed that bank 1, sensor 1 is running lean. It was throwing a code though. I figure that I'll just take the coil packs off, test them and then proceed from there.

 

I checked the codes again, there was a p0150. I changed the o2 sensor and it fixed the code. Its still throwin p0300, p0304, p0305, and p1300. The reading for bank 1 sensor 1 is 0, but its not throwing a code for it.

 

I'm trying to check the coilpacks, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. I've looked at the RAVE, but I'm not too good with electrical stuff. Can anyone give a little better explanation of how to check them?

 

Using a known good spark plug and wire, lay plug on top of block, so appropriate metal is grounded, and check for spark. The wire set you bought is fine, but you may have a bad wire or connection or two.
Let us know how you get this resolved.

 

Thanks again nick. Is there any way I can check the coilpack with a multimeter? I've got it pulled off the engine along with the intake, so I'm not really wanting to put that all back on just to pull it back off.

 

Coil should have approximately .5 ohms resistance in primary winding, and approximately 13000 ohms in secondary. While I have not yet been able to determine just exactly which pins to test to get this reading, you should be able to poke around with DVOM to determine. I'd start by simply comparing known good to problem cylinders. In other words, what are readings from spark plug wire outputs on working cylinders to ground, versus known problem cylinders?
Good Luck!

 

On the multiplug, the pins are numbered 1, 2, and 3. I'm assuming the primaries would be 1 & 2 or 2 & 3. I'm getting a reading of .5 ohms on both of those. When I take the reading between pins 1 & 3, I get 1 ohm of resistance, so if those are considered secondaries, my packs are in need of replacement.

I tested the readings from where the wire goes in to ground. I got a fluctuating reading on all but 4 & 5, they went straight to 0 after a few seconds.

 

The "straight to zero" indicates a dead short. Sounds like time for new coils.
You know you can save a small fortune by just buying coils, and changing the brackets, right? You may want to consider used.
