Thanks again

The coating on the Throttle body and butterfly wouldn't be an indication of running rich. It is more than likely due to oil getting up through the breathers and gumming up the intake. I beleive MuddPuddle put together a catch can to prevent this so you might want to check with him on that.
With an 04 I guessing you have a good bit of miles on it. If it were me, I would run a can of seafoam through the fuel system and intake track to clean it out, then put in some new plugs and see how it runs for a while before investing in a tuner. The seafoam will clean the gum out of the intake, and the carbon out of the combustion chambers, which may solve some of your problems. I run it through all my vehicles at least once a year.
