if you left the fuel tank mostly empty you probably have a nice
load of water in there from condensation.

Yep - I checked for fault codes = none

i tested the odb device - unplugged the radiator sensor - the tester
showed P0118 - temperature switch problem - so the ODB tester is
accurate

darn - i better check the resistance in the spark plug cables, huh?

any other ideas?

And if the plug wires are at fault, most likely a continuity check
wouldn't tell you that because the more likely failure mode of a plug
wire is bad insulation allowing the high voltage to jump to a nearby
ground (possibly via some carbon tracking thru a pinhole) rather than
across the spark plug gap.

There is a widespread myth floating around that a continuity check of
plug wires will tell you if they're good or not - it may or may not,
depending on the problem (leaky insulation vs. bad conductor).
