    Problem was caused by a bad coil. Another problem was I had a Mass Air Flow code and check engine light , That problem was caused by a loose connection from the connector to the ecu. I suggest everyone checks the wires individually at the connection FIRST !!!!

    Code will come back and yes , I have run it without the maf plugged in, it runs exactly the same (shity) . I pulled the plugs and they are fouled because of too much fuel being dumped in there. (5+ms the injectors are staying open).
