So I've got a dead cylinder, but...???
...I disconnected the plug wire and tested for voltage coming in(from the harness end) and got nothing. Should be 12V+ like the other ones I would imagine. So what would cause one cylinder to go down like that? At the other end(where the wires enter the coil), the wires are exposed and probably would be arcing if they had juice. So could they have arced and fried something upstream? Where to look please? Thanks.

Since the EG33 is coil on plug setup, I would be willing to bet that the coil is fried.

If you can't find 12V at the coil, then it is a simple supply problem. Harvey. ![]()

Thanks Harvey. But where does it get its supply from? The ECU? I've got basically two inches of free wire outside of the harness loom to look at at one end. Where might the other end be?

All Right!
Finally a day where I get stuff fixed and behind me instead of discovering more things wrong. The coil fixed the dead cylinder. I got the ATF line fixed so no more drip on the exhaust. And most importantly, I topped off the ATF and the tranny still works fine. It was down enough to lose line pressure and barely go 25mph so I was more than a little scared. But its all good now and running as well as can be expected. I can finally enjoy the 4.44s. So now its on to some cosmetic touch ups.
