another thing i found was a vaccum port that seemed to be uncapped. you can see it in this pic under my BOV connection. it has the blue cap on it. what is that port for and should it be uncapped?

I was refereeing to the the line next to the turbo and the one running by the maf they looked like check valves but could be adapters I wasn't sure.

the one running by the MAF directly under the other line that taps out right there is a cehck valve, that lines runs up to where the oil fill cap is.

the blue capped vac port in yoru pic is not a vac port... ther is no hold drippled in it. i just checked mine. its a solit piece that sticks up.

it should be a big *** metal plate that bolts next to the coolant drain. unless your talking about the +/- line that runs to the starter.

seeing the plugs gives you more info then just about everything said so far.

I would clean and dielectric grease your engine grounds while everything is apart as well.

You do not have a check valve on the line leading to the injectors correct?

If your engine grounds are looking like that all over that could be causing your problem.

you also have some massive buildup of something in that L1 spark hole.
