Default Help!!!

My dad whose currently traded me vehicles to go to Oklahoma has called me several times telling me that the car has been misfiring and having a rough idle. He called me a second time a little while ago and said it started dumping gas out of the back and it starts wanting to die. Also that while it does this the SES light starts flashing. i don't know if it stays on or not due to gutted cats but the only way to make this problem go away is to run 85 down the highway(which he just got a ticket for). any help he thinks it is the injector(s) so he is buying some injector cleaner. It is an A4 02 SS fully stock except for exhausts and the cats

Check the spark plugs and wires. Sounds like a multiple misfire code if it is flashing. I had a plug wire fall loose and did a similar thing.

Valve springs arent that bad to replace either. Good Luck finding it.
