Car is missing - logs and pics - SOLVED!
My plan of attack:
1) compression test see if anything is cooked
2) if pass, swap 02's left/right
3) check fuel pressure and fuel regulator
4) change/check fuel filter
5) new plugs and datamaster log again
I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the help!
175 175 160 175
Other side "lean" according to the damaster, with 10mv O2 readings, and the side with the super fowled plugs:
175 175 160 160
Is that ok? I'm good to go no reason to tear down? The 160's were really hard plugs to get at, and I know I didn't have those two as tight as I could have screwing the tester in.
I'm googling now to see what OK numbers are. I hope that's all good.

Maybe code 12 is nothing?
I'm going to ignore DTC 12 for now and see about a new o2 sensor and fuel pressure.
In my bigass service manual Book 2/2 Driveablility and Emissions it shows every DTC on a page with troubleshooting diagram. DTC 12 does not exist. DTC 11 is "Malfunction Indicator Lamp" and DTC 13 is "Bank 1 (left) heated oxygen sensor" and there is no DTC 12! ?
Edit: The first book 1 of 2 starts at DTC 14, nothing before. ?
Shop had the wrong plugs in, tapered and too short, and too cold. I put in Autolite 3924's which are correct length and heat range for the AFR heads.
MSD wires are all good and all tested OK.
Ordered two new o2 sensors from rockauto.com (the Desno's)
Orered hypertech fuel pressure tester
Changing the oil and putting wix filter,
changing fuel filter.
Stock intake and TB coming from a nice guy here to fix my issue that I have a custom monoblade and hogged out intake.
I will post again when it's all together!
Thank you everyone!

Intake is off!
It was sealing great around all ports, and no oil leaks front or back.
I am swapping a monoblade intake/TB for a stock one to get my idle circuit back. Here are some pics, any opinions on the dirty ports in the heads on the last pic?


Pretty clean ports in this pic...

Pretty grungy! ... Where is this grunge from is what I want to know - valve stems/seals or rings? These two below are the rear cylinders 6 & 8 which did pass compression test just over 160PSI:

More pics:
I can't break them free so I need to get a torch to heat them up.
After o2's I will go for another drive and datalog.
Done so far:
1) new plugs, check all wires, reinstall with dielectric grease
2) put on a stock intake manifold, stock tb
3) plugged and capped and inspected all vacuum lines/ports
4) installed fuel pressure gauge
5) looked under valve covers, lash is set right
To do: change o2 sensors, tune out EGR, and test again.
Fresh oil, fresh fuel filter.
All I need to fire it is the IAC installed in the TB. I don't have the two bolts for the IAC
anyone know what size they are? I'm going to the store in a bit.Here is the old O2 and harness. Oops. Meltage!
