Watch out for the Winter gas formulations
The state of CA (ruption) was sued by the automobile dealers ***. for the reformulations causing bad cats and throwing the Check engine light on OBD2 cars.I personally found this out last year in my 97 s10 4x4. about mid nov. my truck began to stumble, and the SES light came on. Chevy blamed the gas and had a crap load of info to back it up,the had to swap new injectors/carbon clean the manifold/new filter to fix it.All I had to was buy the cat due to the rest being recalled by GM.ButCA gas also has MTBE in it,there getting sued for this as well by76, who refuses to add MTBE because of enviroment/ drivablliy issuses. CA sux *** soooooooooooo many ways it is sick, but the weather is great!
BTW my truck's owners manual states that ethnol gas OR gas with MTBE should NOT be used in this truck! WTF CA has BOTH
