  • reduced engine power/ses lights

    Today I washed my car then drove it down the street to buy gas. Its a 2001 Camaro, M5. It ran find going down, put $20 of middle grade shell in it, as Im pulling out of the gas station the check engine light and reduced engine power light both come on and the car starts running rough. I limped it to advanced auto parts and they pulled the codes for me. It gave a code of fuel air metering and another one that I forgot but it had something to do with engine idle. The car is very unresponsive to throttle inputs and takes major reving to get it to move in gear. Now, do you think I got bad gas, or is there a bigger problem? Any ideas, because Im totally out of ideas. Thanks
