Well, I changed the intake gasket yesterday and realized in the process that there are no coolant passages anywhere near the #8 plug, so I am still wondering how that fills up with coolant/fluid. I also bought a new coil pack form Advance. However when I was all done, it felt the same. I am hoping that my buddy got the faulty coil mixed up with the good ones and if I swap around, I'll find it. I'll get to trying that after my wife gets home from work today at 3pm. I'll keep you posted.
This is starting to get annoying...
