P0301 Code? What Do I Do? What Could It Be?
2 WEEKS AGO I WASHED UNDER THE HOOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE WATER. I HAVE TRIED EVERTYTHING FROM A SMALL PUMP ON THE VENT LINES OF THE OPTISPARK, AND LETTING HER SIT WITH THE HOOD OPEN IN THE SUN FOR THREE DAYS. I USED TO GET A P0300 P0301 P0302 AND P0303. NOW FOR THE LAST WEEK IT HAS BEEN P0301, I KNOW IT TIS THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER....WE TOOK OFF THE PLUG WIRE TO THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER AND FOUND A "WEAK" SPARK....COULD IT BE CO-INCIDENTAL THAT THE PLUG IS "FAULTY" OR IS IT STILL THE FREAKING OPTISPARK? I AM ABOUT READY TO DONATE MY CAR THE LIKINGS OF A LOUIVILLE SLUGGER! 
I AM PRETTY MUCH AT A STAND STILL I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO?

You ought to just write it off and put a new optispark on it. Maybe it was on its last leg and the cross firing you let it do did it in.
