Had a constant eng lite problem ,which always was a misfire. Switched from Mobil gas to Sunoco (premium for both) and no more eng lite. Thinking maybe tune program was fuel sensitive.

It sounds like you have a cylinder missing due to a crossed wire..

Personal preference but I never liked Mobil fuels and that goes back to the 70's, I just never had any luck with it in any of my cars/trucks/vans stock or hot rodded. I run the Sunoco 93 in my 2.4L and it loves it.... No tune as of yet.

Thanks for checking, but looks like GRAYBEARD999 is right, I have been using Sunoco 93 for 6 weeks and no eng light yet.......
