gas matters!

my moms check engine light has been on for some time now(like 5 months) and we went to get her an emmisions test. well she failed and the code or reason was "gas recirculation flow insufficient detected"

well i went to a place to see exactly what that means and the guy at precision tune says "basically it means that the fuel bieng burned is bad, i can give it a diagnostics test for $80"

ha, yeah right. so then i go to jiffy lube and ask them about the filter, cause last time my mom went there they said it needed to be changed bad. "yeah its bad" he says "but that wouldn't have anything to do with this i don't think"

so i add 2 plus 2 and go to the gas station. usaully my mom gets the middle grade gas at am pm. so i went to shell and almost filled it up with premium, the highest grade. jumped in turned the car on and the check engine light is off :grinno:

i then go to schucks and by an air filter for $10 and bought some fuel injector cleaner, and applied them to the car.

it hasn't came on since :biggrin:

what does your mom drive?

Nice man, good job.
