Hey Guys thanks for your help. I got the 2 Coils 2Dizzy caps and 2 rotors for $166 including $70 postage from Rock Auto USA. All arrived in 5 days. I was Rapped. Un fortunately it didnt fix my problem. The v8 is running on 6 sylinders. I removed the 4 spark plugs from the pasenger side to check the spark. Plenty of spark, but the 2 centre plugs were dripping fual. and the front and rear were dry. If you go to pasenger side tail pipe there is heaps of un burnt fual dripping out. Any ideas what the problem could be Thanks.

Hi Jamie, I was thinking that. I see another thread saying that a fault in the ECU can cause that to happen. I un pluged the power to the injectors, thought that might shut them and maybe reset, but no luck. I would have thought if the ECU played up makeing the 2 injectors stay open that the injector fuse would blow.

Have you tried diagnostics? Might get lucky and give a code for what's causing it.

Check leads are ok and spark plugs arent at all wet, sounds like your issue could be more complicated though...
