I changed the plug and the same. The idle did not change at all.

So What could it be?

Coil Pack or Wire?

The weird thing about it is I forgot to mention that when I take the wire off the coil pack there is still an arc that goes from the coil pack to the wire and from the plug to the wire.

I am lost. And dont have that much money for new parts right now.

Then its not the coil pack.

Let me get this straight, while the engine was running, you removed the plugs from the spark plugs and only #5 didn't change the idle?

If the coil pack is sending a voltage but the new spark plug still isn't firing, then I'm lost. Maybe your gap is incorrect, or the wire is shot. Maybe you're not getting compression?

I am by no means a mechanic.....

Correct.

The #5 was the only one that didnt change idle.

I checked the gap and it was correct.

I was searchingearlier and found that you can spray water little mist's over the wires to see if the wires are bad.

I will try that.

Maybe a bac cylinder or something else. I am going to take it to a local dealer and they can figure it out.
