new symptom! its no longer carbon fouling the plugs, now the plugs are showing signs of the mixture being too lean. the idle is (usually) within the ballpark range of where it should be but its a very rough, sluggish idle.
if youre sitting at a stop light it'll noticeably shake and shimmy while the rpms dip around the 550 mark. idle in park is fine. driving conditions are fine.
the other odd thing i noticed is a slight bit of grey smoke on start up that doesnt happen everytime, and is so light that its hard to pinpoint where its coming from. looks like its coming from the under the front of the engine, possibly by the harmonic balancer.
