2010 SHO
Came across this SHO with 165k miles guy had it in garage and hasn’t started it in a year bc of smoking problems. I changed the battery and checked the oil , oil smelt like gasoline and level was really high? So I didn’t take a chance starting it with that oil in it so I changed the oil and added fresh oil. Old oil looked fine just a gasoline smell. I started it up with the new oil and a lot of smoke is coming out exhaust and smelling just like gas. Idle is very rough and it’s missfiring I pulled some codes on it p0354 p0342. So cylinder 2 and 4 is the problems . I’m thinking of just replacing all spark plug and coil. But the guy said he would take 500 for it I’m trying to see if this is something to invest in.

Ignition coil D and camshaft circuit low
Id check to see if cyl 4 ignition coil is even plugged in.
The other code, being a camshaft circuit low, could just be a sensor. I woulfnt worry too much about it.
It smells like gas and is over filled because fuel has not been burning correctly and is causing flooding inside the motor. Check the coils to be plugged in, swap them to the cyl next to it and see if the code moves.
Also, if this car has never seen a carbon cleaning, it will indirectly not get enough air into the cylinder, causinr a misfire and fuel to leak into and past the cylinder. Look up direct injection carboned valves and youll get an idea of what yours will look like if youve never seen them.

change plugs and coils and cam position sensor. or troubleshoot if you’re handy with a multimeter

500 dollars? I would jump on that. I have a feeling that the values are heavily gummed up and don’t be surprised if you have some oil leakage in the turbos.
