Hi Jason, my problem was with the ignition control module. After being very carefully removed the top housing (on the module it self)with a sharp knife, I found 4 wires bedded in jelly. Any abnormality can be a problem, mine was a tiny little metal flake touching the wiring on #3 cylinder which short circuited the cylinder it self. I removed the flake, settled jelly back in and closed it off. Had no problem with her since

If u need further help, let me know, good luck
