Hello all!! Bought the car in March of 2012 with 100k miles on it. Just hit 132k miles and all I've done is put gas in it, change the tires, and do oil changes without a single issue.
Well last night at work a friend of mine wanted to go for a lil ride during our break, and I did a 2nd gear pull to 4th gear, staying below 6k rpm between shifts (even under hard driving, i drive her easy). All was well, went back to work, parked, and didn't start her again until about 2 hours later when i was leaving. Started normal, then the idle dropped to almost 500, and sounded like somebody snuck cams in my car while i was working (i wish). Its not backfiring, but can barely pull itself in any gear. Definitely not firing on all 8 cylinders.

So today i pulled all the plugs-driver side plugs were all wet with fuel. Passenger side plugs were dry, except for the one closest to the firewall, which was also wet with fuel, but not as bad as the one on the drivers side.
So, next step. Fuel pressure test with my handy dandy gauge-this video will speak for itself (sorry, forgot to change my phones video settings to a higher quality)

So after a beer and a cigarette, i went back outside and unplugged the coil packs, one at a time, listening for a change in idle. Drivers side, had hardly no change in idle. Maybe something slight, but the car is running so rough its hard to tell a minor change. Now, the passenger side, staring a the coil pack closest to the bumper, IMMEDIATELY the car falls on its face when unplugged, same as the other 3. So now, passenger side cylinders are firing normal (I'm guessing), but not the passenger side. WTH?
Last thing I did-swapped a coil pack from the side that had no effect on the idle to the side that is affected by the coil pack being unplugged, and same results. So it's not the coil packs themselves.
Also unplugged the FRPS and smelled for gas, nothing. No change in idle when the vacuum line is unplugged or the electrical connector unplugged.
I'm stumped. No CEL, no codes (got it scanned for codes anyways), no smoking, no knocking, no smells.
Car is stock motor, 2.8 upper only, air intake, slp exhaust. No other mods (mechanically). And like mentioned before, 132k miles.
Thanks in advance,
Justin
