I do have to say that the misfire I did have on cyl 2 is now gone. (this was part of the reason for wire and coil and plug replacement...

I have not checked the compression at all as I just pulled on the the wires of and put an old plug on the end to see if I am getting any spark which I am NOT getting. Like I said, I did put one of the old coils back in and nothing new. I'm wondering if I have a broken wire going to the coil if that is possible?

Yes, although not likely unless damaged

Did you ever pull the connector off your ECU to see if it's immaculate? (disconnect battery) Have radio code?

Signal to coils is from ECU

luck,greg

Have not done that yet, that is my next step. I did have a mouse problem with this as it was sitting for so long in the woods. pulled a HUGE nest out of my vents fan. (which is near the ECU I believe)

ok, I'm pretty sure I figured it all out! On each coil, there are three wires, the middle one on the left coil is pushed in so it is not making a connection to the middle pin! Now all Ihave to do is fix that pin, reassemble the engine and hope that I"m ready to go! (well until I get my new o2 sensors...) I'll Keep you posted as to whether or not this solved my problem.
