    now I have a service engine soon text on my DIC, there is no dash lights on though...it just says "Service Engine Soon" ... 15 miles prior to this little issue, I put a bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner in my tank and filled up my car...

    The manual says the following, " This warning message displays when a non-emissions related malfunction occurs. Have the vehicle serviced by your GM dealer as soon as possible. "

    the rest is bull and so is that warning message.

    Yeah..pull the code. I'd say the fuel cleaner may have broken some gunk from your tank....but Im sure itd take longer than 15 miles to break it up and send it through your system

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    I asked the guy at AutoZone to scan my car and told him the type of light, he told me I needed to change my oil. I didn't argue, just looked at him like a fool and left. I don't want somebody like that even looking at my car.

    So I went to Advanced Auto and they pulled the code, P0300-"Engine Misfire Detected Intermittent". So i'm pretty much lost here.

    Maybe Vacuum leak (check all hoses, check EGR and its hoses)
    Check/replace spark plug and plug wire
    could be the injector (check wires)
