Update

So all spark plugs and ignition coils changed -one spark plug came out in two pieces , just top bit thankfully so nothing in cylinder. Air filters done, oil plus filter today.

Runs a lot smoother, cleared codes haven’t come back in a week. Got my VA inspection sticker, now just going to get it into a Porsche specialist type-Coho in Manassas I’ve been told are the closest reputable place to go. Will do a pre purchase type thing there.

Then brakes bled, coolant changed etc.

But have a question , this car had been sitting mostly for 5 years , I drained fuel put fresh in, the tires have the flat spotting thing going on , was horrible feeling for a few miles but is getting better.

How long will it take to get rid of that? I’m planning on a wheel alignment as well to make sure but weather here not warm enough yet or been checked over enough to,take for a longer drive to get the tires warm enough to get much done for the problem.

Is there a point where tires have sat for too long and keep the memory of the flat spot that can’t be fixed or not, no obvious signs of dry rot or anything of that nature, tires look reasonably healthy?
