Default More problems?!

Filled up with mobil super and jumped on the highway...20 miles later I started loosing throttle and eventually died in the breakdown lane. Started back up and as soon as I let off clutch started bucking and died again. Mechanic pulled up one code for throttle body sensor. I had oil in 2 cylinders so we changed out the valve cover gasket. All my spark plugs are black and when we start the car up it is running real rich and smells like its flooding. When we rev it at the throttle body it sputters like its misfiring but no misfire codes? At first I thought fuel pump when on the highway but its running rich...My guess now is maybe clean the throttle body cuz maybe im not getting enough combustion air?

Also, which bosch spark plugs are good for being GIAC flashed? Is there a fuel injector upgrade I should do?

maybe oil is leaking through your turbo into the intercooler to your tb. its not drive by wire so clean you tps and find out where that oil is coming from.

i think its cooler plugs for every 100 hp gain but dont quote me. and no need for higher flow fuel injectors just get an adjutable fuel pressure regulator or if you live in cali a higher rate fpr.

good luck
