Those plugs do not look at all like oil burning, they almost look like the engine is running way too lean and is burning them.

I can't remember the ohm readouts for the temp sensor, if you search the forum it is on here somewhere.

I finally solved my starting issue once and for all today. Had the dealer check the fuel system out, it has good pressure (as I suspected) but bleeds off when the car was turned off.....meaning, bad accumulator! I went right home and swapped on a spare I had from junk yard car....and, works perfect!! It starts almost instantly now, I visited a few stores and left it off for between 10-35 mins at a time, each time it started instantly with no quivering or issue....finally!!!

Now every single part in the fuel system except the pumps themselves and the fuel pressure regulator (which are in good shape) is brand new.
