In the Fall my car was hesitating when going up hill. In Feb. I had time so I had the plugs and fuel filter replaced. the hesitating stopedRecently I had a friend put these pills in my tank in an effort to get better milage. It has also been really wet and the humidity very high. However now my car hesitates almost all the time, the engine light comes on and flashes. Sometimes it goes out and sometime it stays on. What can I do??

Heh I think I found and fixed the problem myself! I had went out in the dark a previous time but could see nothing wrong. Last night as luck would have it I went out and there was quite a bit of cloud cover. I happened to notice a fine blue line. Extremely small!! As it turned out it was a short in the cable. Of course it had to be one oth the cables that went behind the motor. ( You are supposed to disconnect the motor mounts and rotate the engine to change the plugs. Well anyway it was midnight before I could get it changed out but I did it and this morning it seems fine!!!??? Lets hope!!
