Our plugs were about 6 months old. When I removed them last week before finding the MAF sensor being the issue, I found them fouled and looking like they were covered with soot. I cleaned and checked the gap on each plug (the gap was fine), and put them back in. Now I am certain the soot was being caused by the MAF making the car run too rich.

Indeed! Thanks so much. A Facebook forum I am on was having me doing an AFM/DOD delete with lifters and a new camshaft.

Not that such a thing cannot happen, but to go from running great to essentially "rebuild the top end of your 118,000 mile engine" was too much of a leap for me to believe.

I agree!

This forum was a lifesaver for sure!

Thanks so much everyone!

AWESOME!! Glad to see you were able to get the problem solved, "cheaply". lol.
