I hate to be a parts changer but I ordered a new set of coils and a new ICM I hoped someone would have seen something in all these test to guide me in a direction I dont think this will fix my problem but what the heck.

Can you look at the freeze frame and get an idea of the operating conditions under which the code set? With the running compression test we really need to see the movement of the needle. Let'* not focus on that test right now.

Unfortunately I can't retrieve freeze frame data I made note of this in my first post it may be because of the other two codes I mentioned one being a network shorted to battery voltage even though it comes and goes I have a feeling it is in the abs module

I've been lurking on this thread since it was new, without much advice to throw at it, and decided to read through the whole thing again today. Unless I missed it, there are a few glorious pieces of information missing:

How many miles on the car?

How many miles have you owned it?

How many years have you owned it?

Any major trauma in its life (accidents, floods, fires, earthquakes, space invasions, etc.) ?

Any major repairs in its life (besides this thread'* adventures) like engine, transmission, UIM, head gaskets, PCM, etc.?

What region does it live and work in?

Got great oil pressure too

Not a bad looking car either

197,697 miles
I have owned the car for around 10 years i have maybe put 40,000 or more on this car. a transmission was installed at the dealership by previous owner just after about 120,000 i believe. He always had it serviced the dealer. It was his wifes car and he was a college professor.
Only other things I know of is brake pads replaced on front and valve cover gaskets and a MAF sensor around 6 years ago oh yeah and I replaced those plastic elbows with the aluminum ones no crashes no floods never abused.
check engine light has gone back out again for now even though I can't retrieve freeze frame it normaly sets the code at idle when sitting at a light or waiting in line at a drive through.

Probably worth verifying. Hydraulic lifters that are pumped up way too much would cause issues.
