Our 2001 Project DII
Yay!!!! I broke the top off to get a 22MM impact socket on then heated it (I'm sure I just don't have a torch that gets hot enough) I saw it start to move a tad sprayed with PB (it was the closest) and she spun off!
Now I'm going to let it cool down a bit and put the new one on.

I did clean up the threads as best I could. The new one came with a nice blob of anti seize on it. She runs even smoother now.

Maybe this will usher an end to your engine woes. I am a glass half full person.
Buckeye I woke up at three this morning with a terrible thought. No worries, I got back to sleep. But that was about a video you sent me on your brake cleaner test. If you look at my video you will see some blue filter material covering the air conditioning intake at the bottom of the windshield. At 3 am I woke up thinking yours had no filter at all, which is common because the stock filter stuff turns to dust.
If that the case you can buy a universal hvac filter at lowes or home depot for peanuts, cut 1 inch strips, and it fits perfectly. That's the blue stuff on mine. There are little keepers placed every few inches that pull off, install filter, press keepers back in place. If you don't do that you get crap in your blower and your drains clog up, getting water all over the carpet.
Time for a nap.

It really works. I have a lot of trees over my drive and had to clean my blower and drain nipples every couple of months. Since putting that cheapo filter stuff in no problems for a year.
Chubbs gets the credit. Great mod.
And it is washable!

I maintain that the downstream sensors just measure cat function. I ignore them.
That 6 misfire. You've changed plugs and wires, right? No vacuum leaks. Not losing coolant. You checked spark.
ARE you sure that speak plug is tight?
The only other things I can think of are the injector and compression. Very unlikely that a coil is the issue with just one cylinder acting up.
