P0305 is the generic
DTC (Data Trouble Code) for cylinder #5
mis-fire detected, and you have already eliminated the ignition tune-up parts as the problem, the next procedure should be a compression check, at least on the #5 cylinder to rule out the possibility of a mechanical
mis-fire. If the compression is good then check the pick-up coil located inside of the
distributor for any damage, and there is a possibility that a fuel injector is faulty or has a broken fuel line, and if the upper intake manifold is removed, and the large wire connector and fuel lines replaced back on the fuel injector assembly, then cycling the ignition key off and on several times will show if there is a fuel leak on any of the fuel injector lines, and removing the fuel injector nozzles from the lower intake manifold and then cranking the engine over
(have the ignition coil connected but be certain to have the ignition coil high tension wire to the distributor cap grounded) will show if any fuel injectors are not firing or have a plugged up nozzle. The original fuel injector assembly in that vehicle has the actual fuel injector inside of the injector a
ssembly block and the fuel travels through a small plastic tube out to a fuel nozzle attached out on the lower intake manifold for each cylinder, and a replacement fuel injection assembly is made a lot better and will have the fuel injector mounted out from the injector assembly block on the end of a larger heavier plastic tube with covered wires running back along the fuel tube to the injector block.
Do you remember what the #5 spark plug looked like when you removed and replaced it and did any of the spark plugs have a black sooty carbon fouling? The #5 cylinder is located at the rear spark plug on the driver side and here is a firing order diagram to assist you. The catalytic converter would not be the suspect and moisture or clear liquid
dripping from the tail-pipe is an indication that the catalytic converter is functioning properly, unless coolant or liquid is running out of the tail-pipe, then there might be a faulty intake manifold or cylinder head gasket, and a rotten egg smell is usually caused by poor fuel if the smell is coming from the exhaust, or an over-charging battery condition, (voltage at the battery should be between 14 an 16 volts when the engine is running) and let me know if you require the procedure to remove the upper intake plenum, or if you require any further assistance.
brand new coils wires and yes plugs are correct, fuel injectors are rebuilt stock injectors. voltage to coil backs is correct. have held throttle wide open while cranking even replaced coolant temp sensor
