The coil pack or cps could be bad but without replacing one I cant know about the other.

the coil pack is 83 bucks on rockauto and the cps is 41. I may just tell my friend to get both and cross his fingers, lol.
I hate just throwing parts at something, but without ruling one, or both, out I dunno what else to try.
If you have a scanner with data stream, check for rpm while cranking. That will tell you if the cps is working or not.
