this is a long shot but i've read about water in the gas fouling the fuel rail with rust.....also if water was sitting in the fuel rail it might cause a problem ..maybe try a little dry gas or i use the isopropical alcohol in the tank ..it will grab any water and let it mix with the fuel so it moves out of the system........i'm not positive but i think most gas companies add an additive to all fuels to take care condensation problems in underground tanks in winter time...but i don't think they do in the summer.

You can go to a parts store and get heat. As far a I understand the Techron is better for fuel injection motors. You can buy techron also in a bottle. I have simply just been filling up with Cheveron gas which has Techron in it! I have heard also Methanol will work too.
