All that fuel has gone to your cats when it would not run. I'm thinking your cats are clogged up. Plugs got fouled gradually or an O2 sensor went bad so the fuel was not burned properly and it got dumped to your cats, they got clogged up. Or an O2 sensor went bad and that clogged up the cats. I had that happen on an Integra many moons ago, the extra fuel actually ate through the cats and turned them into straight pipes. It failed inspection, but not by much…took it to MIdas and they showed me what it looked like when they took it off.

The cat in my Integra was holed out due to an O2 sensor going bad and dumping fuel into it. But at start-up it would shake and then go to a back-up mode in the ECU and not read the sensor and then it ran fine. The check light would come on. But yes, the extra fuel just cored that thing out. Funny thing is, it just barely failed MD emissions even with really not having a catalytic converter in it. This was a 1987 Integra though. I traded it for a Type-R back in the day. What a sweet car that was.

So was it just the plugs that was causing the issue?

use electrical tape around the socket and extension to prevent the socket from separating from the extension and you won't have to fish the socket out
