A coincidence?.....I dunno, some feedback, please....
The '00 was running fine, low fuel light on a day before payday, so I sez."ah what the heck" and drive over to the Mobil station and drop 30 bucks of gas on the credit card...I figure I have gas and the Mobil fuel will help clean the system, instead of the rot gut fuel I normally get from the convienience store pumps....
I take off from Mobil, and a few miles down the road, coming from second to third, the car hesitates badly, where normally that gear change would throw my head back....I sez, "Hmmmm, now that's weird"....strange thing, it idled fine...
A day later on the way to work, the CEL comes on, I sez"OH,GREAT!!!!"
I went to the auto store after work, checked the codes, I got 1 code, PO172, system running rich...I clear it, next morning, it's on again, so I just drive it, with the hesitation until I run the Mobil fuel out....
Low fuel again, so I drop 10 bucks of rot gut fuel in, and a few miles down the road, I stand on it, and the broken neck condition is finally back!!! My baby is normal again!!!
I took the neg battery cable off to reset the computer, all is well again and the CEL has stayed off....
Now, what's the deal with this story....I would have thought it would be the other way around....cheap fuel, bad preformance....can anybody explain this????
{I won't be going to Mobil again, that is for sure}
