check engine light
I filled my tank with premium gas, put the cap back on and drove out of the lot and immediately my 98 Expy started running like crap. I came to this board and read the posts about O2 sensors, etc. I tried disconnecting the battery cable, which helped inititally--but the check engine light would come back on.
I thought maybe water in the gas-so I ran out and got some additive. That helped for awhile--then the light would come on. I went to the parts store-Advance Auto Parts in Colorado--and they suggested changing the gas cap. Well, to make a long story shorter--put a new gas cap on and have not had any problem since. Sometimes it is the simplest and cheapest solution that fixes a major headache.
