long story short......it was the plugs. i put new in over christmas and less then 3k later they were still showing good on the meter but no glow light. i reamed the holes a couple times put new plugs in. turned the key and LIGHT!!!! now i will see how long the new gps last running bio in the car. hopefully no carboning in the chamber with bio. ya'know those old plugs were bosch 80006/9 can't remember not the crappy autolites.
