I think you should get someone to have a look at the car...you are either not listening or trying...or you are not capable of fixing this.

There are a couple of threads on coil testing...I think one might even be a sticky.....spend some time looking for an answer..

Fair enough, I'm not sure how my rotor housing is at the moment, all I know is after hours and hours of deflooding, it ran the same before, actually better because I had a new ignition system. So, its up to you, after my experience I'm sure its flooded though.

Look at the plugs, they have the part number written on them. One part number has a T, one part number has an L.

Then look on the side of the engine, there is a T stamped next to one set of plug holes, an L stamped next to the other set. Also known as Leading and Trailing, or Lower and Top

Then compare your plug wires to this pic, and make sure they are hooked up right: (ignore the blue and green tape note, replacement wires don't always have the right tape)
