Justin, how goes it?
The wifey wanted this car....so she has it.
IIRC it has the 2.3 engine with direct ignition (no plugs, 4 coils right in the head) so discount the plugs.
I can advise her to put in an airfilter. She also tells me the breather hose from the crankcase to the intake has rotted in half, so perhaps the car has a major vacuum leak as well...I suppose this could fool the AMM since the leaks are behind it, and perhaps the computer is dumping fuel in to compensate.
Don't know much else about it, but PO was very anal and had mucho work done by the dealership in Charlotte and Long Island.
It runs very well, since I drove it home after the purchase :o)
