Ok I suppose I have a story to tell since I said I'd update you all.
After reading this post I got to thinking.
The previous night I was part of a bowling tournament. . . losers buy pitchers,
tournament style.
We end up making to the final so quite a bit of bowling and people buying us drinks.
I had taken a cab there with my partner, needless to say I was in no condition to drive. . .
GF picks me up in my car, I ask her to take me by the gas station to get gas for the next mornings drive. I was buzzin. . . .and after checking the gas cap yesterday . . . . I realized my stupid *** didn't tighten it very much at all! This was the problem.
lol sorry for the false call guys. I'm just glad I have no serious issues. . .thanks for who ever offered their help!
dont drink and pump! Esp dont drink and drive!

PS fluid was just slightly below the min level, coolant wasn't too bad either, but it does look like I need to change out a hose because there was some moisture and anti freeze residue.
Yeah I turned my service reminder off as well. . .
power steering fluid & coolant were a tad low . . /QUOTE]
Ouch... if those fluid levels are low you have some leaks. I suppose coolant could evaporate over all these years if never changed but low power steering fluid is a problem.

Glad there was a happy ending, but feel like I should add my two cents even though it doesn't provide much value.
AFAIK plugs only throw a code if there is a misfire...correct? Not when they are getting old and should be replaced as part of regular maintainence?
In my experience a misfire code is usually a coil.
