I just drove it to the gas station, and put a full tank of 93 in it,
checked
the oil and added about 1/4 - 1/2 the bottle. It seems like the
hesitation
becomes more apparent the warmer the engine gets. Started to do the same
symptoms on the way back from the gas station although I parked it before
the trouble light came on. Is my next step to check the computer with a
tester I guess?
