I am trying to diagnose this issue that has been ongoing for about a week now. Intermittently I lose spark from the two middle wires on the coil pack. I thought it was an issue with the coilpack so I replaced that and it ran fine for a day and a half and now the issue is back. The wires and plugs are less than a year old. Could a bad Spout connector be causing something like this? Should I check out replacing the DIS module and see if that does anything? HELP!

Also could I mess anything up by driving it with the two cylinders out for say 20 miles?

I tried to run the codes, but I really suck at trying to figure them out. I'll get like the first two or so and start getting confused.

I am pretty sure I get one relating to the BARO(?) and there were two related to cylinders, which I assume would be due to them failing.

Unlikely.

Probably. Either the DIS module or the interconnecting wiring harness is your most likely fault.

Yes. The unburned fuel from those two cylinders increases the liklihood of converter damage. How much is difficult to predict.

Thanks for the reply, I am going to try and change out the DIS tonight and see if that makes a difference. As far as internal engine compenents I should be okay, I just could have caused some damage to catalytic converters? Did I understand you correctly?
