Whoa there buttercup, try using punctuation. May try checking and cleaning all electrical connections and grounds. Also use fuel injection cleaner. At 190,000 miles, I bet it wouldnt hurt.

If the COPs have 190k on them I recommend you inspect them all for cracks on the tops of them. My 2000 has 241k on it and I just recently replaced all of mine because they were the original ones and every one had a crack across the top of it. That lets them draw moisture into the windings and they will have a slight miss fire to them.

Also check the rubber boots on the COP's. Any cracking or deterioration or signs of current arcing through (often looks like a brown-ish dust substance if it's been going on for a little while) then you can just replace whatever boots as necessary. They go for about $10 each at your local parts store.

Also, please post the actual DTC (code) that you're getting. Knowing that will go a long way in helping us help you.
