Good News!!!! Well I had determined that I was going to rule out everything possible before firing a module at this thing, so I went back to basics and remembered what an old mentor of mine always tried to beat into my head "visual inspection, visual inspection and then another visual inspection!!!" so I checked evry wire and when I removed my coil this time the ground wire to the frt cylinder fell apart. Quick wiring repair and what do ya know it fired right up and runs like a champ. In the process of checking everything out that has been suggested to me I found one of my intake gaskets cracked and some chaffed wires and hoses that I need to reposition but that is all minor. So thank you very much to everyone who has offered help, as always it is much appreciated.
