Run it in the dark to see if any spark plug wires are jumping spark. Any gas in the engine oil? You can smell it on the dipstick. Keep posted.
I am by far no mechanic, but I am mechanically inclined and used to race cars.......so i do know a little bit..............I brought to shop and he told me he did some checks and said it had no compression. I am going to go back to autozone tomorrow and have diagnostic run again and I can let you know more...........it is not knocking, just running rough..very rough.
