Plugs, wires cap and rotor were replaced last December. Upstream O2 sensor was replaced last October.
I know that I am due for a PCV system overhaul.
Anyway... my regular mechanic (who is not affiliated with this government program and hence cannot do the work, says that I just have to bite the bullet, get a complete checkover to the tune of about 175.00 from the government accredited shop, spend a minimum of another 250.00 towards fixing whatever shows up and then get a partial "pass" which is good for 2 years.
They get you coming, they get you going.

And don't get me wrong... I want to find out what's wrong and fix it... but this way my choice of mechanic, parts and source are all mandated by someone I don't know... can't say I like that at all.

Anyway... thanks for your comments.
