I tested it again. Spark looks yellow and maybe a little week. Not much to compare it to.

Not wanting to read back in the thread, but check the coil wire itself too.

If you got it wet, pull the cap to see if there's moisture. Spray some WD40 and dry it to get rid of the water.

Now that I think of it, you should disconnect the negative battery cable, and pull every single plug you can find, clean,dry and use die electric grease on them. Underneath, like o2's and all tranny and diff sensors. Uptop, all. In between, there is also a plug / harness on the driver side behind the lower wheel well plastic insert.

Went through the cap and rotor. Just recently done a tune up on it before this happened. So I should go through the harness?

Only if you want to troubleshoot and eliminate some possibles. And a tune up "before this happened " really means nothing now.
