Remove the plugs from the front bank and try it before you do the rears, I've heard and had it myself that the front centre is usually the one that goes.

I hope you don't have hgf, I've had 2 cars go with it, the second had hgf due to failing O rings on the long plastic pipe to thermo and subsequent coolant loss.
this trick it is very old school I will see what I can do tomorrow (don't think a lot ) but start prep my self for new engine
