The spark plug wire is Yazaki 1997 R-16-AIPS

I am waiting on a friend who has a multimeter to check the coil.

Personally, I'd say that is in need of some replacement. You might want to verify the resistance listed as acceptable in the spec list in the service manual.

 

Also, I suppose you could try sandpaper on the corrosion to see if it helps. When were plug wires and spark plugs changed out?

The spark plugs were changed last week and I don't know when the spark plug wires were change. The last owner said he changed them a few months before he sold the car but I haven't been able to take him at his word thus far. If he did change them I would guess they were cheap ones....Ill research that and update you on the quality of the replacement.

I have been using a steel brush to take the corrosion off before I delete the CEL code, usually runs for 30-50 miles before it comes back on. When it does come back on it flashes for a bit before it goes solid and then will flash again.

All right so I am going to throw my hat in the ring here....

I have the misfire codes for cylinder 3 and 4. Here is a picture of my ignition coil, my gut instinct tells me to replace my ignition coil bc of the way it looks. But with so many things it could be I am just getting fed up with the lemon of a car I bought.

What do you all think?

When the msg boards say to switch 1/3 with 2/4 does that mean just swamp the plugs at the ignition coil or swap all the wires?
