Coils replaced and O2 too, but still having probs
Well I appreciate all the help you guys have given. If I was to have some great find and figured some complicated problem out all by myself I would be sure to come on here and let everyone know and be very proud of myself.
Conversely, if I was to do some bonehead screw-up, I would make sure to give it equal time. So I went home to check out my plugs and wires, and discovered that I had the #2 and #6 plug wire swapped on the coils. I switched them back and LO AND BEHOLD, SHE RUNS JUST FINE NOW!!! What a dope!
So that being said, I still have a Check engine light on for something, and she doesn't run as smoothly in park as I would expect. But as far as driving, she runs smooth, accelleration is back to where I would expect, and I like driving it again!!! As far as the check engine light goes, I know that my oil pressure sesnor is broke, I broke it while installing the engine and have never gotten around to replacing it, would that make the light come on? I would assume it would, but the sensor went bad on the old engine and I don't recall the light coming on then.
So basically she runs fine, but the light is still on and will bother me, but at least she'* fun to drive again!!

I've done stupid stuff before, but I won't post it.
