You said your ignitor had a bad ground...and it's now "in tact". I'm not certain, but thought it was grounded through the mounting bolts. Is that where you cleaned?

yes.. i found it just dangling and i guess it would flood on me because when i drove the wire moved and it would sometimes flood then unflood itself while im driving... because this wire would touch the metal (car) and sometimes not touch it according to wind or how hard i rocked the car. when i found it i immedietly put it where it should go which is on the mounting bolt on the upper corner of the ignitor. i also cleaned that area as best as i could. after i did that the plugs fired and car ran flawless for 3 weeks, now its back doing the same thing, no spark thus no combustion.. all my other grounds look fine aswel.. just cant explain why it would be fine for the limited time then the same thing again..
