A double whammy I didn't need this morning!

So, went off for my "smog check" appointment this morning so I can get the new van transferred and registered.
First thing, the technician walked outside to the van and it wouldn't start. The starter decided at that precise moment it was time to retire.
The mileage is within 10,000 of when ALL Toyota starters fail, so I shouldn't have been surprised. The tech lent me a ball peen hammer, and of course it worked fine after three love taps.
when I worked at Toyota dealers years ago, the running joke in the shop was that all Toyotas should have come equipped with a ball peen hammer from the factory.
Stage 2: it failed the initial test, HCs are too high.
max is 100ppm, mine read at 143ppm.
Idle a little high too.
Soooo down to removing the whole engine cover and give it a good going over.
I was hoping to do that later, AFTER getting it registered.
As if I have nothing better to do, oh well.
