    It's running!

    I put in half a bottle of fuel injector cleaner with only 1 gallon. Started it up and it died right away. Started it and put in neutral and it died. Kept repeating until it finally stayed on. It ran super rough for a while.

    Tried adding another gal and more injector cleaner the next day and got a few misfires engine codes but seems to be running!

    Really didn't think the injector cleaner would work. Seems like the car has a rough start when starting from cold, but seems to get a little better every few days.

    Thanks for the help all!

    Congrats on getting it going!

    I'll suggest a tank of premium fuel and a BIG bottle of Techron to purge junk from the fuel system now that it's running decently.
    Then back to your regular routine.

    Remember to practice safe fuelling in the future - stay away from strange fuel containers :)
