STATUS: COMPLETED
Sick beat bro
Mechanically it was not happy. Wire connectors were impeded by heavily aged Dielectric grease causing resistance to the connections for the coil packs. This Gunk had to be cleansed out of these connectors.
Check each spark plug and clear out the fuel coating the plugs. The excess fuel is due to the misfiring of the engine's cylinders, causing the ECU to overcompensate by sending more fuel.
This requires a cleanse and an oil change.
Next afterwards is to check the tune settings and recalibrate it until it sounds less like dubstep and more like a happy LS.
