still cant get the front sensor off, it is being a royal pain.

Ironicall, I can get all the header bolts off without any issue and those are the ones that usually snap.

Got the rear o2 sensor out. Made a difference. Still saw some misfires, but in the single digits and they didn't rise like they were doing before and after some time they reset themselves back to 0. Just this test tells me it could be the rear that is clogged.

It does make it easier to do a video though with sound to listen to the idle.

The biggest issue with this car is that it is so damn random. Like yesterday. Ran good last night and then this morning misfires like crazy.
