I have been idly following your posts lately, curious as to what the problem would turn out to be. This latest issue with carbon buildup, to me, means one of two things are causing you grief.
Carbon buildup indicates incomplete combustion. This can result from either:
A - Too much fuel being injected
- or -
B - Insufficient spark force/Poor timing
Have you put a good old fashioned timing light on this thing? How about taking an ohm reading across your coil to distributor lead?
I have often found the most basic stuff is what catches us out when trying to diagnose a "modern" car with electronic injection or engine management.
