Ok...I went in and double and triple checked the wire placement and the fittings on all 6 cyls...I followed the diagram on the cover plate...which is:

1 Cyl to 6 cyl coil
2 Cyl to 5 plug
3 Cyl to 4 cyl coil
4 Cyl to 3 plug
5 Cyl to 2 cyl coil
6 Cyl to 1 plug


I guess some of the above are redundant...but I wanted to make sure...All the fittings are snug...I dont remember how much play the coils should have, but I cant seem to push them any further down on the posts.

Looks like Im going to be going to work late...Does anyone know if I can damage the car driving to my local shop with the car misfiring?

And can the EGR valve really cause this much headache with the loss of power and erratic idle? This is the only other item I touched this weekend...Almost makes me want to give up working on these cars...I thought I could improve performance, and instead Ive created a complete nightmare.

Thanks for everyones continued advice and support...

Carlos
