Default That was the answer!

Thank you Salim ,I thought I had checked it in a way but it turns out I had two bad coil packs and was unfortunate in choosing the wrong one to test the number 2 spark plug with. So, I still had some extras from replacing all the rears and I am going to fully replace the fronts as I bought six to begin with. You have been so helpful and it gave me great confidence to be able to ask questions and forge a head. So, now we have a car that runs again as it should and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you thank you🙏🙏🙏

With the oil in the tube, it most likely shorted the electrical load and fried the coil-pack.

I would have expected misfire codes to show up.

Glad it is over.
