Well after 14 hours of hard labor I got the car running again. I decided to go back to the new plugs and try my luck one more time. Turned out the coil pack wiring connectors kept unplugging while I was installing the small bolts that hold it. This caused multiple misfires. The car started smooth this time but I noticed a loud ticking on the right side of the motor near the plugs. I read that this could be a loose plug so I re-torqued all of them on that side. When I started it again there was still a tick....now I'm thinking I messed something up with misfires but when I started it and drove home the car ran better than before and the noise disappeared. Any idea what that ticking was?
