Sounds like your vehicle did not like the fuel cleaner you used. CODE P1130

CODE P1135

I suggest driving the vehicle through another fuel cycle with the recommended octane level. Then reset the engine code and see if it comes back. I believe the fuel cleaner just messed with some of the sensors and the computer is giving off a "false alarm". Hope this helps.. Thanks for using 2carpros.com!
