Darth,

pull a plug wire off of another cylinder and swap them. see if the problem moves with it to prove it's the wire. (swap the entire wire, not just switch which plug it goes to) and that's not a crap update, that's a GOOD thing to find something that easy!

Alright, I have two sets of new NGL wires (kind of a cool story about them. Great customer service). Hopefully its just a wire.

Pardon my ignorance though, but how is finding out a piston isn't firing a good thing? Can't it be a possibility that the internals are F'd?
