Please give us all the details. The service it's had and parts replaced. Miles, model, year, type of driving it gets(short trip, long commutes), fuel used, oil type and consumption, ever flooded, red lined. Just any thing that will help us help you.

exact same problem for me a few weeks ago with my 2004, eliminated plugs, coils, cat. Compression test was crap and ended up getting a new engine under warranty. Think problem was somewhat related to flooding though because i was getting all the symptoms of partial flooding - are you getting this too? Ie hard to start at times? Miles, model, year would be useful...
