Re: I have a stupid question

Best way to track that down would be to find out what the code is. Some local auto parts stores will scan your car for free. Try calling around. Once you know what code the computer is throwing it will be much easier to diagnose the problem. Hope this helps

Two things, if he just filled up did he get the gas cap tight enough ( three/four clicks ), take it to AutoZone ( free ) and have them pull the code.

This 100 octane gas was unleaded right? O2's & cats don't like leaded gas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: I have a stupid question

I would go with the 02 sensor's. They don't like race fuel, "at all!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
