    Just after you pulled off the PCV system,( around 12 minute mark) a little light came on for me. What would happen if the air intake side is blocked? it would think it's flowing air (more than needed, naturally) and would still be rich as it comes. Broken intake, something in the intake, maybe 1 or 2 cylinders not getting any air at all, which would basically turn them into fuel pumps pushing raw fuel into the exhaust... and that would be a LITTLE rich. 🙂 Just a thought, now to to watch the rest of the video.

    I once had an issue with a fuel pressure regulator which was sucking fuel when the engine was running and creating vacuum. It had a punctured rubber membrane. The engine was running super rich. Don't know if this engine has a similar type of fuel pressure regulator, though.

    Hi mate I have an astra gtc but same engine I did my sump seal but when u drive down the road it chucks out oil all over the rear of engine. I don't think it's the sump but it's the last thing I did so I did it again and same thing happened. It doesn't leak when parked and revs up at 3000 it's only when driving Have you had this problem I'm doing it sgisn today with black high temp gasket but seriously think I'm wasting my time. How would I check the timing cover gasket without removing the equipment as I feel it may he this but I really don't feel like removing the chain to replace a gasket if it isn't that. Don't want to break it as no garages will do it for me

    I would recommend cleaning out all the debris and carefully cleaning and tightening the battery connections and various ground straps. I would put CRC 226 on all the electrical plugs and most wires. It improves conduction while driving out moisture and protects against corrosion and mice don't like the smell.or taste. The phone company drenches it's old copper wired switch boxes in it. Honda used soy based insulation for a while on their harnesses and it became an animal reserve food supply in bad winters. Not sure about Toyota. YIKES.
