thanks royce, i already did the seek and destroy method you stated for my plugs etc which led to the original diag of my cyl. #2 not firing via the spark plug. so i replaced all plugs and the car ran great for a day with a hiccup or two and then all of a sudden back to 3cyl awesomeness. oh and since this problem occured ive done a few compression tests to be safe and everything is all good
