Do you just pull some fuel out and let it settle?    I’ve been following your advice to put in what I think I’ll burn but I’d like to check anyway.    The place I get gas is very busy so I assume it’s water free. 

Yeah.  Disconnect your fuel supply line and use the primer bulb to squeeze a quart out into a glass container.  Give it a few minutes to settle, and see if it seperates.

If it looks like watered down Mountain Dew it's still ok.... but likely beginning to age.

If it looks like Mello Yello, piss, or grapefruit juice..... Kill weeds with it.

Note to self, next time take it to O'Reilly's and have them run codes.

Get one of these instead, and save the trip to O'Reilly.  Dozens of free apps that you can use to read the data from this device. It will give you the problem code, and links to possible fixes.  I keep one in the glovebox of my truck.

Put in new coils and plugs.  I was going to do a video but  it was as easy as changing out plugs.  The car runs fine now. 

I don't know which cylinder is which, but the middle two plugs were fairly fouled, and of a little more concern, there was a film of oil on top of those two plugs and bottom of the coil on plug.   It doesn't seem to be burning oil and oil level is ok. 

Oh well...we'll run it till it won't.
