Coil cover removal
I did the search and find nothing about how the cover comes off of coil on 1988 S4.
I don't want to break it as I see it has a chip out of it.
Thank You

The plastic cover just pops off. It has a cast-in wedge cut out of it so the terminal lead wires can exit. The covers keep the connections clean.

That cover is one of the cheaper ignition parts, and definitely not your problem.
So, Gustatus, I am thinking your running-rich-and-missing problem still sounds like ignition, what have you NOT replaced in the picture below?
Ground straps (#27, 28) in place??
Wire set is new, right? Were the connectors new also, or just new wires on old connectors? Plug #8 was the only one fouled as I recall (from a recent post), have you gone over that wire carefully? Swapped it with another?? You can also check it with a multimeter, it will have some resistance, just make sure the resistance is in the same ballpark as the others. A few thousand ohms is fine (resistance wire), megohms is bad.
