Took off to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving and stopped to get gas on the way. Car was running fine (that I can remember) when I pulled in, filled it up, started it up and pulled out on to the highway to experience what felt like the rear wheels slipping. (It was wet) So I backed off, then eased back on the gas. My wheels weren't slipping, my engine was misfiring. So I pulled off the road, do a quick peek at the coil and plugwires, everything seemed kosher, I figure I got bad gas, so I drive back to the gas station and they run a test on the tanks and it shows 0 water.
So, I pick up a couple bottles of water remover, figuring that water had just condensed in the tank. (It had been cold and on empty for a couple days) Water remover in a full tank of gas, I've babied it about 100 miles and it shows no sign of improvement. The SES light is flashing at me, and I'm at a loss really.
I know theplugwires are prone to going bad, but I replaced them back in July.
Is this something that water in the tank can do, or is it just some kind of crazy coincidence that it starts doing this right after filling up on gas?
