hard to say what the issue is, most of these things tend to be coils or injectors. If the fuel cleaner seemed to make a difference try running Redline fuel injector cleaner, it is the most effective cleaner available in a single bottle dose.

One piece of advice is to always carry a code reader in the vehicle so you can diagnose and clear them quickly. I used to have an SRT-4 and when it puked a CEL the turbo and power was cut to a crazy low amount, you'd be stuck on the highway with what felt like a 20 hp vehicle. It was actually scary driving like that in limp mode, ever since that time I carry code readers in all of my vehicles at all times.

windhund, yes, I am definitely going to start with a compression test. I agree with you, it is a good place to start and it is free.

I am going to continue this discussion in the misfire thread here.
I would like to thank those who responded so quickly on the morning of the initial post, and I apologize for not researching the forums before I made this post, but I was a little flustered at the time.
