So it looks like I have dove down the rabbit hole on my 93 2.3. Over the last few days I have started to replace miner things and take care of a few misc repairs. Well after putting 700 miles on her in the last two days I found my self diving into some more significant and over do maintenance. I noticed the truck was hesitating a little bit and when coming to a full stop she would some times stumble so I replaced the very old fuel filter and this made no change. Looking into her a little more close I found the IACV bottom bolt had backed out and the valve was not seated well. I also noticed a huge amount of oil built up in the TB so I figured I would go ahead and clean it. Since I now had the TB out of the way I figured I should just check one spark plug on the drivers side and sure enough the plugs and wires are extremely old and desperately in need of replacing. So at this point I figured I was all in and pulled the upper intake manifold so I could get the remaining plugs out.
The spark plugs look like older auto lights but the gap had gotten so big
