Another update. Went over again today to install the new wires and injector O-rings. I pulled all the injectors and saw this:



After a little cleaning:



Put them back together, no leaks. Then I started the car and went for a drive to Autozone to read and clear the codes. After I cleared them and started the car, they came right back...ffffuuuu So I went back to his mom's place and decided to check out the coil. First I checked cylinder #1, because the CEL was specifically a misfire in cylinder#1. I pull cylinder #1 plug while it's running....no change in idle and no spark. So I move to testing the coil, COMPLETELY out of spec. The car idles like it wants to die, and it's a sluggish turd. So new coil it is.

I plan to go over again tomorrow or Thursday and install the new coil, updates to follow.

Yeah she came out a bit, offered to help if I needed it. I also found and fixed a major power steering leak, stupid hose had a hole in it under the clamp. No problem man, when you coming down to Boise again? I'm thirsty!

Possible May. It's 2200 miles to Detroit going the north route, 2400 miles if I go through Boise. Well see. If I get my stipend from Chrysler earlier I'll stop by for a weekend.

Sounds good mang, let me know. Let me know when you order the coil and where. Tomorrow might work out for me to go over.

[Domesticated]

Just ordered it from same place. I'll call customer service in the morning.

[dj_ender]

Sounds good.

A final update for those interested: Last week I went over and installed a new coil and new injector seals, 2 of the codes went away, but the cylinder 1 misfire remained. Upon further inspection I saw that part of the gasket around cylinder 1 was missing.

Today I went over and installed the new gasket, this is what I saw:



After I installed the gasket and fired the car up, the idle was instantly better, but still had a CEL. So I ran the car down to AutoZone and cleared the codes, no codes after that and the car is running fine.

I don't know how to repay you!

Lots and lots of dank beer.
