Could be a dead coil as well.

I took the cap off the PD and the screw was in the cap!!! I take it this is bad as well, should i try and get it to go back in or replace it?



I tested for spark by puting a screw driver in the plugs and having someone crank the engine and looked to make sure they arked, they all arked and I got shocked once. is this an accurate test?

It'll tell you that all your coils are working, but not if your plugs are fouled.

Josh,

I just had a similar problem. Car died just like that. . . Anyway, you may want to check if it's a short somewhere. Maybe check all the main fuses. . .

[QUOTE=RotaryResurrection]either replace the injector lower grommets or use a little bit of sealant on the lower edge of them to prevent a vacuum leak there.




What should I use to seal the injector grommets???
