So the beast dramatically died(ish) a day or two after these posts. Lol. Like the spit-popping you mod for, but with no acceleration. Would still Starr, but hated the gas pedal, didn't care which gear. Super great.
Got him torn down to the fuel rail to get the injectors out to be cleaned, then sprained my right wrist. Also great.
Finally got the last injector out after fighting with the #4 bracket bolt, whose torn head is now stripped. Haven't looked for a replacement yet, but I saw they have weird washers that I'm hoping aren't meant to be permanently attached, but if anyone has a quick answer for replacing it I'd be pretty thankful. If nothing else, I'll snag what I need from someone parting theirs.

Am I totally off about what's going on with this car?
I'm pretty new to the car world as a whole, and finding this site has given me a lot of hope for success. Excited to learn as much as my little brain can handle from you all.

Yeah, logs.
Edit: And ecu codes

Are autozone readings adequate? I might be able to get my hands on an old xtool for a couple hours here and there if that would be better for getting to know this car, but I got a part time job at AZ (for the discount, extra project $, and random advice from strangers), so the resources there are more accessible, if that's worth anything

Cut the heads of the bolts off, drill out the half moon washers a bit, and stud them like I did:

Don't remember what you thought it was; this issue needs it's own thread now.

Ideally, you should be using whatever tuning device you have to do datalogging. Again, start a thread, preferably tshooting section (use the template).
