Well nothing has been changed/fixed yet other than the OVP Relay fuse.

I cleaned up the plug wires on the 3 and 4 cylinder and it didn't fix the problem (they were SUPER dirty). There was carbon deeper than the hex on the spark plug. It was VERY deep and super gritty stuff... almost flakes of carbon. It looked like something you'd see on an exhaust valve or worse.

I hope to get the car to throw a code hopefully soon. We'll see.
