I'm guesing u had code p300 p301 p302 p303 p304 and p305? Misfire misfire cylinder 1 2 3and 4 and mulitple misfire? Check and see if the egr valve is stuck open or the cat is clogged. Let me know where the power is as far as RPM and how it idles. Egr valve wouldn't typically throw a code. Misfires thesedays are usually cosed my a timing or af metering sensor. If it's running that rich u can get a flame you should have some sort of information on a circuit out of range code. Pm me
for my number I'll try to help ya if your interested.

sounds like a coil. but unless i am wrong, i thought that white plugs meant very lean...

i think that you have several things backwards...

The white plug does mean lean or burning ethelyn glycol. A coil would throw a mfg ignition system fault code tho right what's it p1351 or something close

Pull the coil plugs one at a time and check for a difference on idle
