Thanks for the input. I had actually thought about just replacing the coil pack on a hunch...don't think that would have worked, though. With the two coil packs from cylinder 1 and 2 switched, I still was throwing an (intermittently flashing) CEL. (AND, at this point she's running pretty rough.)
Got to talkin' with Dave (my "regular mechanic") after the diagnostic readout, which no longer supported the simple diagnosis of a bad coil pack (was still reading "cylinder 1 misfire", and some other random codes). He started talking compression testing and a lot of other even more intimidating diagnostics...and I threw in the towel. (I'd be a lot more inclined to try more of this IF I only had a lift!) "Dave, you feel like fixin' her?" I asked. "Sure" he said.
Sooooo, he's going to tackle it...I just don't have the time right now... not enough hours in the day.
I'll keep everyone posted.
