I pulled out the boots from the new front coil, and see no spark from two of the connectors where the new plug wires go in. The old wires did have some insulation missing, but new ones didn't help.
Engine code says problem with primary coil circuit 1,2,3 or 4.
runs terrible, apparently on 2 or 3 cylinders. Barely accelerates and runs super rough.
No fault checking of almost anything, especially an ignition system, can be done without checking circuits and coils with a test lamp and a good ohm meter.
It is also a big help to have a circuit diagram - making it easier to know what should be happening.
Back to basics and systematic checking is the way forward...

From Lusty Kid:
I know the economy is bad, but change all of the plugs. Check your PCV Valve hose, 150 rottens them out allowing air to be sucked in, thus all kinds of codes.
Depending on mileage. Dismount the EGR valve and clean passages. If you are really good dismount the throtle position sensor body and clean out passages with Choke Cleaner., dismount where the EGR valves connects to the engine, clean out passages. Also check the hose thats behind this mounting to ensure is not clogged. If clogged clean it out. If not replace it. Is about 1.5 ft. long, connects to the PCV Valve Hose.
When is the last time you change your harness. Can't remember??? Replace it. Good Luck
SOURCE: Car is running rough, afetr spark plug change
make sure no fuel is down in the spark plug ports it will short out the spark

Have you checked for spark on all 8 plugs? Unplug the exhaust side coil pack and run the engine. Does it run on all 4 cylinders?

how did you check coils you can ohm them and they all should read the same... another way if you do not have an expensive scanner you can scope the current draw of each coil....or simply go to junk yard ...rob a set of coils and change all... do yourself a favor change plugs to standard autolite plugs.. let me know

Higher compression usually only happens when extra oil is introduced in to the cylinder.Your rings seem good due to the good compression .If there is a worn valve guide in that cylinder this would allow oil to seep into the cylinder .Also allowing for extra rocker arm movement which could be your chirping noise and cause a rough idle.The lean code sounds like something different like the is still a vacuum leak.It sounds like you know cars well ! I hope this helps
