need some imput regarding cylinder#1 problems!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allright, ive posted many links about my car idling badly... now this might take a little while but please bear with me...

Anyway today i went to canadian tire to see if they could find my problem... they hooked up their computer and told me they had some bad new... they said that they read the cpu and said my EGR wasn't working and they were getting many more codes that were all contradicting each other they then advised me to go see a guy who owns a garage that specializes in honda and Acura... they said i might even have to reprogram my ecu cause the voltages werent reading properly ( i dont know if that made sense)

Went there and i got there at the car was idling fine... so the guy and i went for a twirl and not once did it idle low.. so he told me to leave and come back when it was happening... i laughed and told him id be back in 5 min, and i did return, and he looked at the engine when it was idling low... so he started to unplug the spark wires.. when he removed them, the engine sputtered and came close to stalling till he put it back in, except for the 1st cylinder. there was no change when he took it out. meaning when the car was idling low, it was cause of the 1st cylinder not functioning properly. he took out the spark plug and saw there was some oil on it (rings need to be changed!) but he said that wasnt causing my bad idle. he said there might be some carbon inside that might be causing it not to function properly....

what do you guys think? cylinder 1 isnt always firing? it would make sense cause when i do have a low i dle and i floor it, the car will idle fine for a bit, almost like i cleared up the blockage for a little...

any imput?

P.S. I AM SO SORRY ITS SOO LONG!!!
