How do you check the COPs?
+1. i did a datalog of my spark if that could help. is there a way to just test the COP itself??

my spark on the datalog was anywhere from 10 to 32.75 and the spark source was anywhere from 1 to 16 just bouncing around. any ideas what all this means or is telling me?

i also did some datalogging on my fuel stuff if people want to konw about that.

The Haynes manual, if you have one, has a section to check the COP's by using a OHM meter.
It has to fall in two certain criterias for it to be good, if it is anything but what is listed as acceptable it needs to be repalced.

You could take a cop out put a plg in it and start car to see if you have a spark. I just looked at the bottom of the cop and squezzed it, and at first I only changed the one that was cracked at the bottom. And that fixed it, then I went ahead and finished changing them all.

Did you guys watch his videos? Anyone else see his fuel gauge bouncing around like it was on a pogo stick?

To me it doesnt seem like a bad COP would cause this. Looks like it's fuel related to me.
