I put in a can of fuel injector cleaner this morning.  Car seemed to be
running somewhat better after the 5 mile drive to work.  After work this
afternoon, I plan to pull the injectors and test the spray pattern.

Thanks to all who reminded me of the fuel injectors!  My thought process
last night went something like "well, it's getting fuel, so the injector
is spraying".  Sometimes it is good to step back and take a break!
