Update
Okay it has gotten kinda busy around here on weekends so I have not had a block of time to finish everything but here goes. I replaced 3 of the 5 GP's and will replace the 2 most difficult to reach today. I did leave the fuel lines in place, will not make that mistake again ! Now the interesting part, with these 3 new plugs the car starts on a 32 degree morning with the GP relay cycle albeit somewhat rough but warms up and smooths out at idle quickly. The Inop GP light on the dash has started working but still kinda odd. It glows for about 14 seconds so I still wait to hear the relay click before starting. I am hoping the last 2 GP'S will solve that problem. Second on another thread I noted the issue with the battery being the minimum spec for this car and that I was able to exchange it and pay the difference ( $26.00) to get the Monster large and called for battery for this vehicle. I noticed this a.m. with the cold temp and did not have the car plugged in over night that the engine cranked easily and started up pretty well. Next step is to fix antilock light in dash / ABS inop at the moment. Also do front brakes and rotors and flush system. I believe the constantly on Antilock light is a broken sensor wire. Anyway I need to do a valve check/adjust and that will probable come before anything else. The car seems to be lacking power and I do not believe that the turbo is kicking in. I pulled air cleaner and housing and found 2 things- the air cleaner housing mount is almost brand new and that some one took a shortcut when they did the oil return tube "O" ring replacement, they just shoved another one on and it was not in the correct groove so oil has been coming out of there. The turbo spins easily with my finger and does not wobble seem bound up in any way ( I know this is without oil pressure) I also made sure there were no mice nest's in the air intake and all is clear. I need to see if enough exhaust is getting to the turbine. Heat works perfectly. A whining sound coming from the rear possibly driveshaft support bearing ?
Again sorry to ramble but thanks to all for your help I will update again.
