Mercedes 1996 S320 Engine seems to be cutting out while running. It has not stopped yet. I have started pumping regular gas lately and the have kept the gas tank at low mostly. I plan to take it to Autozone to get a diagnostic. Will the computer tell me what is wrong with the engine. My check engine light has been on for over 4 years and had reqistered a problem with the egr flow valve.

I would change the fuel filter first and don't use regular fuel and running a constant low tank can affect the fuel pump as fuel can get aerated and over heat the pump.
