Default RE: CEL ON

Is it still misfiring(running like crap)? If not its was probably caused by the low octane fuel causing a misfire. If it is still misfining try swaping coils, plugs, injectors to different cylinders and see if it follows them to the new cylinders. As for the vacuum leak it, check your vacuum lines for one that is unhooked or leaking. Also check to make sure all your turbo hoses are still connected securely.
