Any other thoughts, Thanks.
How do you know for sure the headgasket is good? The cooling system is NOT supposed to be pressurized, if it is, you have a headgasket leak. Its not about if the plugs fire well, its about their condition, how they look, a major indication of whats actually going on inside of the combustion chambers. Have either your cam position sensor or crank position sensor been changed at any point of your engines life? When was the last tune up? Have you checked the main ground to the engine? If it is corroded or loose, it will cause misc. running issues. Do you pump the gas when starting or when it fails to start?
