update... after switching everything out (coil packs, wires, plugs) still getting random misfire code and misfire code on 1,2,3. absolutely mind boggling. interesting thing though was it would run long enough for me to move it from its3 month resting place to another spot in the yard. when I hit the brakes, I had NO pedal. check fluids and all were fine. could this indicate vacuum issue that could cause both?
