    Yeah I tried switching stations didn't help much. I'm gonna pursue this running rich rabbit hole. The ignition coils are all cracked, idk if they were damaged from getting wet or if they were already like that, but I'm gonna replace them either way and see what happens.

    Yeah definitely change out your ignition coils if you've never done so. I just switched mines out a couple months ago because the truck started running rough and throwing a coil code on the obd. Took it out, and it didn't look all that bad. It's weird how they work

    Ok swapped the coils out with OEM densos, I wanna say it runs a little better but that could be psychological.

    I had a local japanese auto specialist look at it a few days ago, I showed him the spark plugs and he said thats actually evidence of running lean since the white tips are clean. He was able to confirm that by looking at the fuel trims. So not sure replacing the coils would really improve that, but since they were all cracked its probably time they were replaced anyway. I'm taking it back in next week so their top toyota guy can look at it.
