VerifiedHello! My name is Gary.
Welcome to JustAnswer.
I'm reviewing your question now, and will post back with a reply shortly.
Can you check for a broken purge hose from the solenoid on the rhr of the intaje manifold to the throttle body.
That hose is a common failure.
Does it have good spark across each coil tower with a pair of leads off, engine running?
You can drop 2 cylinders out to test each coil like this.
Can you look at these few things please?
Your auto is a little high, but not a cause for your concern.
