Ah, it all makes sense now. I was wondering how unlucky I could be to have two independent things break at the same time. Thanks for your input. The tow truck is on its way to take her into the shop. This problem has exceeded my pay grade so I am going to let the pros handle it from here. These...

Well I pulled plugs on both sides just to make sure I had spark and while I had them out I decided to do a compression test on both sides. The right(passenger) side was fine but I only had 30PSI on the middle left cylinder. To be sure that it was not just one stuck valve or bad rings, I looked...
