Now it sounds like maybe the ignition tune-up will account for everything. A misfiring plug or two might have the oxygen sensor telling the fuel computer the mixture is too rich. I've been pretty lucky with plugs and wires, I guess, and haven't much experience with the way the LH2.4 car responds or complains of a weak spark.

It does bring back a memory of a no-start road call on my daughter's B23F ten years ago: The resistor in the distributor's rotor had opened up. That was the day I discovered the Bosch rotors had built-in resistors. I suppose, depending on a lot of (moisture) factors, it would probably work some times jumping the gap.

How's the fuel economy been through this?
