I think I finally narrowed my hesitation/rough idle/lack of power down to the #4 Plug.  I pulled it once and it was wet (gas).   I got a cheap light that connects between the plug and wire and Cyls #1-3 do fine (light flashes and increases with RPMS), but #4 has an intermittent spark.

The wires test fine with an Ohm meter, but I had noticed some corrosion on the plug at the #4 coil.

Per the Bentley manual, the coils all show the correct (and are all at the same reading) resistance.  

Not sure if it is a coil or a wire problem, since both test fine, but I'm guessing it is the #4 wire....


Now, I checked prices--looks like I can get Bosch wires for $95.  A new coil is$48 (used are pretty cheap).

However--before I go spending the $$, I want to be sure which is the problem.

Anyone have an old used coil or wire set from a COP conversion (either loan, or prefer outright sale) to test with?

It appears I could go COP (Coil/plug connector) for $200 for a complete set--however, I assume I need extension wires to run from the original placement of the coils to the new placement of the COP on top of the engine?

Anyone know where to get these?

Thanks!
