Everyone has been chasing this and speculating the root cause and you drop a heat shield bomb.
Classic !

Spark advance is not totally dynamic in open loop. It still relies on sensors that use table based calculations with input from such sensors as the MAP and TPS sensor. The MAP sensor only gets you in the ballpark and a TPS sensor when you have changed mechanicals in front of it isn't giving you relevant data when you have increased air flow.
This is essentially the same stuff as Chevron Techron.

I've never had my injectors serviced in 177K miles and it runs perfect.. but I use Chevron Techron Concentrate.

They also did combustion chamber cleaner which would have been sprayed down the throttle body. Regardless I have probably 10 key cycles on the jeep so far and have burnt half a tank of fuel and its gotten no better. The dealer is being very good about it they haven't said a word about my tires, intake, or exhaust. They told me they have seen a few other motors with the same problem although mine was the first manual they have seen. They asked me to run two tanks of fuel through it and see if it improves and that if it didn't to bring it back and the next step would be pulling the heads.
