Newest update.
found a temp gun, so I started the car. After a minute I checked every exhaust bank/runner right out of the cylinder. All of them were reading about 240, except one was 100 degrees less.
I'm not sure the cylinder order, I think that's #6 (the third one forward from the driver seat)

I checked all electrical possibilities. Swapped plugs, that didn't help. Then swapped wires, that didn't help. Then swapped coil packs, that didn't help.
I'm pulling the valve cover tonight and looking inside
Wish me luck

Stand in front of the car. Look at the engine.
2,4,6,8 are on the left with 2 being the front
1,3,5,7 are on the right (driver's side) 1 being the front

I have not. Do you think that could happen with only 11,000 miles and coincidentally the same time I do my first major burnout?
But it definitely is on my list if I find nothing wrong when I pull the cover

I really dont see it being the inj's with the pressure & this low miles. Man if so you had to get some really bad r dirt in the gas plus it would have to gotten thur the filter are it is so bad that it is blocking the line on the tank side of the filter. I really don't see this.

So... The valve springs look perfectly fine
I then did a compression test.
Cylinder #1 180
Cylinder #3 (the cold one) ZERO
that's not good
I think I need to pull the head completely now and see what damage is done down below 👿
