Took the car in, #1 coil is burned. Oafish me, I had pulled #3 finding it fine thinking I was on #1 cylinder. The good news, I have a good replacement as I bought one for that work and swapped in a new one. The shop couldn't get one during my visit. Had the plugs changed, they said they looked awful and recommended a 30-40k interval and not the 60K. Car has 110k now, changed plugs roughly late 60k range at dealership. Plugs were visibly eroded and gap was an extra 0.010 when measured. Did not get the gap numbers. Good to know though, should help once I get a good coil, in the right place no less.
So that issue is solved. Note to self, next time look up the firing order before I start. Screwed up on the very first step and never found the actual problem.
Tomorrow, I install my old coil from #3. Knew I should have tossed that in the trunk before I went to the shop, damn.
