Thanks Gilly..
I'll pull the rotor off AGAIN, and check the bracket it attaches to for loosenes or if I can rotate it..

Here's the part that makes it even more frustrating.. When my wife got home, I had her get in the car.. I pulled a plug out, and attached it to the plug wire, grounded it to the engine to be absolutely sure the plug was firing.. It fired twice, and started right up on 5 cylinders. Put the plug back in, and the car runs perfectly.. Actually, it runs exceptionally good..

Before, I had checked spark by using a 10 Ft. piece of wire I could pull around to the drivers seat.. But it was making a big spark.. I checked from the coil, and from several plug wires..

Beats me.. I'm sure it will be back though. It's a beautiful car, but I'm tired of it, and I wish it would go away..
