Well, then it has to be the distributor, but I don't see how it is that the same 4 plugs are always affected.

Try this: move each wire on the cap one space over, then loosen the distributor and turn it back an 1/8th of a turn. This would be easiest if you make a reference point somewhere. Anyway, do that, and then see which plugs are bad. If it's the same 4, then it's not the distributor, but if the 4 bad ones have shifted over one spot in the firing order, then that clinches it.

Take care,

Is there any way to test the TFI module? You don't think it could be that causing this pain do you?

You need a module tester, available at most auto parts stores for around $20.

I need to go through all of your info again, because quite frankly, I'm lost.

Take care,

I just took my module to Napa and they tested it. I burt up my ECM doing the same thing. I also hooked up my Neutral Saftey switch with too much power. I also fried my MAP sensor.

Anyway, I will get the mudule tested or just by a tester and post the results, I will go ahead and start a new thread too containing all we have went through, tested and done so everyone can be familiar where we are at with this. Thanks for all the help so far.
