If it works fine when you return to stock, Return it to stock and try and contact Bill.

SBurn - I followed the link you posted. What a joke. Seems like California is a State that "eats its young", doesn't it? (And I was born there.) Looks like, according to the laws your wonderful legislature has passed, virtually anyone except a current California resident can purchase and register a non-California car in your State.

And I thought the Arizona legislature was bad! (Well, actually, I think they're worse!)

Ohh, I could go on and on...

Just on things specific to cars: The apparatchiks at CARB have now made it a law that every auto repair facility is now required to check the air pressure on customer's cars.

Now, I'm all for checking tire pressures. The mark of a good repair shop used to be that they would do that and a fluids check without being asked just as a part of normal customer service. But, making is a State law is going way to far. Making it a State law under the guise of reducing greenhouse gases is really just too much.

Then there was CARB's idea earlier this year to require automotive paint and windows to reflect a specific amount of solar radiation. Less heat in the interior means less use of air conditioning, and as the theory goes, less fuel used means less greenhouse gases. So, using current paint technology, black or dark colored cars would have been verboten.

CARB put that scheme on the back burner after word got out on many automotive blogs and websites.



So for you guys in the other 49 states, remember that much of the silliness that starts in California ends up going Federal. And remember that some of the most powerful representatives in Congress are from California.
