Soap up plug wires, what'* that do to show you the arc? I've always found misting the running engine at dusk will show issues quickly. You've peaked my curiosity with soapy water.

Pull out the EGR to LIM tube. Hold it up to light and look at it where the holders push on the flange to hold it to the LIM/EGR.

Good possibility it'* cracked.

haha... put the car on hold and go build a garage.

Or get a large tarp from Tractor supply and use your engine hoist contraption at the center beam and you got yourself a place to work...
