I replaced the spark plugs and 2 of the 4 coil packs and got it running but still not very well. I think today I'm going to pick up two more coil packs and see if that will help.
I ran a compression test and it has 175-185 lbs on all 4 cylenders and all of the timing marks are dead on. So I hope that by changing the other two coil packs and getting a good code reader, one that I can use to reprogram the ECU myself, I'll be able to get it running like it should.
