I think a lot of the more modern cars will show the check engine light but worth a look anyway. 2) Check your oil cap is on properly. Again simple free to do. 3) check for any vac hose leaks.

Different brand, or even different stations of the same brand can have fuel that behaves differently. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
