Russ you da man!  I have checked these before but I checked again and they
may just be the problem.  rotor = 4000, #1 = 1000,  #2 = 1000, #3 = 1000,
and #4 = 300,000 !!  and #4 was the cylinder I suspected!  I don't know how
I could have missed this before.  Now the question is does any one have one
of those spark plug plugs laying around? the rest of the wire is fine.
