   There was no backfiring but lots of stammering which cleared the moment I   
   reset the codes, so the palpable stammering was caused by shutting down the   
   cylinder due to non-palpable misfiring due probably to a non-stoichiometric   
   air:fuel ratio due to the water in the gasoline.   
      
   I went to my glovebox to get the smog report but it doesn't show any   
   values. It just says the following in a chart & gives certificate serials.   
      
   Air Injection System = NA   
   Catalyst = pass   
   Computers, sensors, switches & wiring = pass   
   Crankcase emission controls = pass   
   Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) = pass   
   Fuel evaporation system (EVAP) = pass   
   Fuel metering system = pass   
   Liquid fuel leak check = pass   
   OBDII = pass   
   Other emission related components/systems = pass   
   Smoke check = pass   
   Turbocharger/supercharger = NA   
   Vacuum lines to sensors/switches = pass   
      
   I think I found out why the readiness monitors were hard to set but I'm   
   still researching that so I'll write that up separately for review.
