Get rid of the Bosch Platinums, they are not recomended for our turbo cars. You may want to check your plug wires.cap and rotor. Your boot may not have been pushed all the way home on the plug. Pop the hood in the dark and see if you have any spark jump from the wires. I would change the plugs and put in a bottle of red line fuel system cleaner, the whole bottle, make sure the connectors are pushed all the way home (click). How many miles on engine?

I marked the injectors but I feel like they did not take that into consideration when they recorded each one.. my concern is that none of them, IMO, seemed to have been bad enough to create the uneven plug readings I got after 600miles... One side note: The car has been in storage for the winter and only run once every couple of weeks... maybe the seals are to blame.. leaking while car is sitting.. who knows, I was hoping that the injectors were bad causing the rich situation causing the smelly idle.
