   Could be related or different problem. First thing to do is get the codes scanned, most parts stores do this free. Then go from there, could be 10 to 20 different things. You could guess all day long but until the codes are scanned you really wont know.

   you got some bad gas, if its not running too bad use up the fuel that’s in it and get fuel somewhere else for now on. if its running real bad take it to a shop and get it flushed out, or siphon it out your self.
   hope that helps

   You got bad gas. probably water. I’d put in 4 bottles of ‘heat’ in the tank, that’s a water handler additive, available at any auto parts store. fill it with premium (at a different station) and run it on the highway for a while. C.

   I agree with the poster above. Try to burn all of the old gas out of your car first. Then fill up with 93 octane and some gas treatment. (FYI) Never fill up at a gas station will the fuel tanker is there.
   When the tanker starts to put the new gas in the under ground tanks, it tends to stir up the trash and water in the under ground tank.

   could be bad gas, or the filter but it also could be your gas cap.

   put in a can of B-12 chemtool found at an auto store or wal mart get a mechanic to look at it if they can prove it was the gas try to talk to the store manager if they refuse to do anything file a lawsuit

   agree it probably bad gas
   as for light check engine code may be random misfire injector prom
   and so on because you got bad gas
   fi injector cleaner may or may not help
   as for gas cap no or very little affect on engine running
   get fuel filter change and ask repair man to check gas wile the filter
   remove it easy when filter off can put gas in clean glass to check it
   if lot’s of water in tank get it drain
   lot’s of water can clog injector ruing fuel pump those pump are
   sensible
   go to gas station whit bill of repair done
