I think you have to ask yourself what could have changed? Bad fuel, low fuel pressure, bad afr, bad spark or bad compression. Bad afr could be a header leak, a clogged cat, a boost leak, a bad o2 sensor or something but I can’t imagine you would see any of these problems with no CEL.
I noticed that the Atmosphere pressure is reading low which could be a contributing cause, but there is no CEL. I started another thread regarding the location of it.
I'm not sure if I have a clogged filter. The car runs a lot worse on pump gas than E85 which tells me it's probably a fuel compensation issue. :/
