I pulled the plugs again today while also checking the head for the plug letters (which are all Bs). The plugs were all in tight.

I also did check the 12V battery about 1 hour after I was home. The voltage was resting at 12.2V. That is definitely on the low side. Can this cause weird issues?

Talking of weird issues, I was driving along today on the way to a meeting, and I stopped at a stop sign and the whole car just died. The instrument cluster just went dark. I turned it off and attempted to turn it back on, but I got nothing. I turned on the flashers so the car behind would go around. I sat for a while, tried it a couple more times, and finally it started up like there were no issues. Very odd and not confidence inspiring.
