You didn't have a code or it was an intermittant failure..

Could be anything in the fuel system. Maybe a small leak or something, or it could need a tune-up, check the fluids think simple first.

i just did plugs accel wires oil radiator belts the whole shhhhhbang, what gives? im gonna try that lucas fuel treatment. other than that i am assuming the timing is off because my exhaust smells a lot like unburnt gas. or running rich i better say.
