Good Morning, I pulled all plugs and found one of them looked new while the other five showed firing? Is it the coil? I have a E200TXECM 1998. I can get on plane but cant reach top end.

A clean new-looking spark plug can be the indicator of water infiltration. Perorm a compression test and put a timing light on each spark plug wire. Report back on your findings.

99% water intrusion, possible head gasket, agree compression check and spark check.
you can use a spark tester.

Hopefully head gasket. Cheap and easy repair. If it is the head gasket then make sure your cooling system is doing it's job correctly. Could have warped a little due to overheat. Make sure mating surfaces are nice and flat before fitting new gasket.
