Well plugs looked like crap, they had carbon and wet fuel on them (last time the fuel pump was turned on was 24 hrs before). There is good spark. I took the wide band O2 sensor out and cleaned it. It was also wet with fuel. I cleaned (sanded) all grounds. Oil smells good.

The car was "cranky" and started hard. I decided to get everything up to temperature (nicely) to see if that would clean it out some. I "throttled" the fuel pump to keep too much fuel from going in, which seemed to help. It has begun to work better but still has a unknown issue. It has chewed through a fresh tank of fuel in 80 miles, so I think it is a fuel problem. Or the timing has gone way off, I'm still trying to get a timing light to check (mine is in storage). ...dang I forgot to check the O2 sensor reading when it was hot.
