HI guys, I took my car out of storage yesterday and 15 minutes later the CEL came on, that's what you get for caressing her during those long winter months.
Someone told me that it could be the gas sitting for 6 months that can be the problem and advised me to consume a few full gas tanks before panicking and dishing out the big $$$$$$$ for new oxygen sensors.

Has anybody experienced this and should i have added something to the gas before storage, any imput from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Jim WHERE ARE YOU HELP

Thanks
