Got this CEL and limp mode on Friday... talk about putting a damper on a holiday weekend. I cleared it to see if it would come back and it didn't. The car hesitated slightly for the rest.of the tank and generally ran like crud. It felt like the timing was being pulled under full throttle acceleration I did try to cinch up the gas cap more, but it was on correctly and tight. I also got 24 mpg on a mostly highway trip where I expect to see 28+.
My question is... could this be caused by bad gas?
I filled up at my local Shell which normally has pretty high standards, but I'm starting to wonder now, we've had two different bike weeks for the past two weeks and so maybe the tanks were low and I got more dirt/water, or the owner put a lower grade in the tank accidentally or maybe not so accidentally (Premium is 50 cents more per gallon)
Filled at a Hess station that I normally use by my work on the way back from Fayetteville and the car started running fine again by the time I was a few miles down the road,.
Scared the hell out of me...
