W208 FAIL X3!

fail #1: the cause of misfire in pic.

fail #2: I'm retarded enough to leave the one of the coil pack unplugged when I restart the car, so now the check engine light is on.

fail #3: REV software won't let me clear CEL on 208.

random update:

so the winter cold start with squeaky belt and valve tick got me annoyed that I added some of those oil-honey into the engine. surely it silenced some of the valve tick, but also like my MB mech said it brought down the gas mpg by 1. LOL

ooh...and I passed 100k miles recently. only put on 2k miles over the last yr or so.

no real issue since gotten the cam fixed. will be gone for 4 wks. when I get back hopefully i'll have some pss9 coming OR i'll fix the control arms.

sneak peak.
I had the pogo lock problem in my rear door. I took every thing apart and I had to take out the door handle. I tried to re-install the rear door handle, but it just won't stay. I'm thinking that I don't have the right tool to do the install. Can you tell me how to reinstall it and what tool is needed. I think I need a torx socket with an extension, but I can't seem to reach the area.
