I had my gas cap stolen then a few days later my check engine light came on...i changed the spark plugs and wiring also bought a new gas cap my engine is sort of putting and does not pick up speed also when i drive the check engine light starts to blink, also shut off while driving. i got to codes from a diagnostic stating fuel system and coil pack?
Number three cylinder is miss fire,it does not mean it is the coil,although it could be,remove the coil,and boot,and spark plug,inspect them to see if the plug,or boot look bad,replace the spark plug,and if the boot is burned or distorted,replace it,a fuel injector can cause a miss fire also,but change the spark plug and see if this solves the problem,if not replace the coil,if it is a dead miss,then the coil might be bad,as for the water in the fuel ,the cap is missing,,and 5 dollars worth of HEET will not hurt,also,fuel from the fuel station,can have water in it.It happens a lot.
If you change the coil,it should repair the problem,if,the injector is not bad,sometimes they will go out.The cap is most likely the code that set,and they take a while to go off,unless you have the codes erased,if you have and it still comes back on,then the e g r position sensor would be the problem,or the hoses going to it are leaking vacuum.
The heet,and the fuel injection,both are to be poured into the fuel tank.But do not count the coli out to be ok,it still could have issues.

the codes are p0303 and p0455 how would water be in my fuel?...they said something about my coil packs?
i already changed the spark plugs and wiring on all 4 and still not any better and today i just bought a gas cap from the actual dealership...so all thats left is the coil pack to change?...thats what they said i have to have replaced..?
where do i put the HEET?...
Thank you very much i will try these things out! =]
so i had a diagnostic done at a auto place and they said my coil packs needed to replaced but they did not want to do it said i needed to go to the dealer the part alone is $300 i know i can get it cheaper and have someone i know put it in do you think that would be ok?....
What did the codes read exactley?This may help in the diagnoses ,and water in fuel maybe the problem,change the fuel filter,and add HEET ,a moister dryer,two bottles,and a additive called LUCAS fuel treatment ,one bottle,this will help.
