Hi guys,

I finally got a resolution for this issue and I wanted to post it for you guys. It actually turned out to be a bad spark plug on cylinder 3. The electrode was damage so after a fresh set of plugs it is running great again with no CEL. It has been several weeks and no issues. It seems like such a simple fix for all the work troubleshooting.

Thank you all again for all your help, especially upallnight!
