What a @#$&. Unfortunately, I live outside his district so I can't do much to oust him. To me, public enemy no. 1, Sally Leiber from Mountainview has already been term limited out of office. She's the one to thank for rolling exemptions going away.
I don't think Pelosi is going anywhere. Her district (SF) is extrememly liberal and she now has real power (much like her cohort Diane Feinstein).

I have half a mind to run a tankfull of injector cleaner, run it hard to really blow out the carbon, and smog it with the engine cold at a different shop instead of using my free retest. (Another $50 down the rathole.) HC and CO should go up, but I've got lots of room to play with there. Colder operating temperatures should get rid of the pinging and lower the NOx. Aside from a partial injector clog or failure, I don't know why it would be running lean. Bad MAF or O2 sensor? I'd imagine that would trigger a SEL code... (which is now an instant fail if you have any codes in memory or the light on.)
I don't think the power key was turned on, as I shut the car down when I got there and they restarted it to pull it into the bay, but I'll pull it out to be sure next time. I may also look into the iridium plugs.
Definitely Chevron gas. Any other suggestions?
