    Default CURED...code 1222 and surging idle/rich running...it was the MAF

    rough running while at a stoplight, then momentary CEL at around 35mph a little bit later... I just did an "italian tuneup" last night for about 30 minutes, then went and filled up with 91 Exxon. Drove spiritedly home from that.

    Wonder what I cooked up/burned out? Recently replaced valve cover gaskets, and there was no oil leakage into spark plug wells. May have fouled the O2 sensor...last replaced in 2001, at 79k miles...seems too soon for that though.

    This is the worst possible timing for problems with her car. Like there's ever a good time. I'll see what the stomp test gives me.
