The car looks great inside and out, much better than the mileage would indicate. I do think the engine is getting tired, CEL is on, misfire after replacing plugs, and the passages are plugged. Have had no luck keeping the misfire away.
Missfire? Can you feel it?

I'd love to go down the rabbit hole on this one.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
