I was gonna post "My last post of the day" but actually here in PR is my first post . Anyways, I did some more testing tonight. Found no error codes with paper clip but found that trying to start car with clip on car would crank start and then die (did this twice). Removed clip a bam, started and an engine kept running. Another thing. At least 1 spark was in perfect condition (will check the rest tomorrow and do the compression test). But the big revelation (at least for me) my ignition timing is off 4 degrees. Went ahead a marked both belt cover and crank wheel for doing the ignition timing with the strobe (jumping pins 4-5) and just to validate with you, the 16v is timed at 8degrees BTDC? Well if yes then it was at least 4 degrees off. Before all this I did another test run and car did shift from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd. If you asked me im still lost but will keep testing.
Good night!!
