After removing the expansion tank and draining, then removing the charcole canister and checking for fuel (it did not express anything when checked out), the car seems to be running OK, except when it's cold.. it still misses a bit.
Today will be the first long drive with it since I 'overfilled'. It seems there is a problem with a check valve on the expansion tank that allowed fuel to be pulled diretly into the engine. This makes me wonder if I fouled one of the 12 plugs, and a long drive might clear it up or at least illustrate which is having the problem.
Hopefully the car starts smoothly this morning, all this is quite saddening, as it's such a fun car to drive, and before this it was very, very nice even around town and in traffic due to it's excellent low-rpm torque curve.
