Default Help!

Have a 97 and got some bad gas with water in it. Started chugging upon exceleration. Put dry gas in it and it doesnt do it as much. Have gone through 2 full tanks of gas. When i excelerate my cel blinks at me and when it stops chugging it stops blinking and stays lite. Any ideas?

I'd change out the fuel filter ... The bad gas might have had dirt/rust in it as well

Blinking CEL usually means a miss fire.

Check your plugs and see what they look like.

Have you done a tuneup lately?

Hopefully it didn't mess up your fuel pump. I agree with sroufe7 about the tune up.

If it messed with the O2 sensors it shouldhave a solid Check engine light
