Hi shadz1419,

Get a free scan done at Autozone and let me know the EXACT trouble code for the CEL indicating and we can proceed from there.

I went to my buddys shop and he hooked up the scanner to my car. This is what I got?

Cylinder 1, 3 and 4 misfire detected
Random/multiple cylinder misfire detected
manufacture/control ignition system or misfire.

I can relate to the cylinder misfiring as it is quite common and most often it is due to spark plugs or fuel. Get the spark plugs checked and fuel pressure tested.

As to the last part, manufacturer/control ignition system or misfire, it could be related to the misfiring.

I requested for the exact code but you only provided the description which is not accurate as different scanner have different ways of describing and would not allow me to get the correct information.

Have you topped up the gas? On inclines when fuel level is low, the fuel sways to the rear and is out of the fuel pump's reach.
