Dave, Thank you for taking the time to post a response. Your reference in the first line to the ignition wiring caused me to open the cover over the coils & spark plugs. I discovered the front four plug chambers had oil in them along with more oil in the casting ribs on top. This apparently had come from spills (sloppy me) at the fill port.

I cleaned out all the oil and using electrical contact cleaner cleaned up the plugs and the coil seats and boots. Now the car runs fine.
