Hi guys, thanks again for all the help. As a follow up, after extensive bleeding, the brakes are solid! Way to go team.

Now, I drove it a couple of hundred miles yesterday, and about mile 200 it was going 70mph, and I lost engine power. I called a tow truck, but right before we slid it on the sled, the car started. I then drove it the remaining 60 miles home without problem. Including stopping to get gas, and getting pulled over by the blasted little piggies... :( Restarted well both times.

And then this AM it won't start. The starter always engages, and there's plenty of juice. But when I pulled the plug, NO SPARK...

Most likely Coil or ECU gone bad right? How to tell which is the culprit? Or is there something else on the list?

Thanks again for all of the help!
Nate
PS - I might be selling this thing once it's running again because it sure isn't an e12...
