Do you live where they use winter blend fuel and if so can you drive to where you can get apolitical fuel (no pork funded ethanol mix). I use an app "pure fuel" to find stations that sell non diluted fuel.

Oh: random crappy performance: check your DISA valve. Be very careful removing there is a little pin that falls out it's steel you don't want it falling in the engine!

I have a DIY how to repair for 10¢ vs replace for $225.
Is there a winter in SF CA? I thought it was either spring or summer.
