I have a 2000 Saturn LW2. The "service engine soon" light came on so I hooked up an OBD II I rented from a local auto parts store. It said "Fuel too lean banks 1 and 2" and the same message for banks 3 and 4 ( 2 codes ). So I ran some fuel injector cleaner through. At the time the car ran pretty good, but I noticed some hesitation and "chugging" at times when climbing a hill or accellerating at certain speeds. Anyway, the light went right off after I ran the injector cleaner through, but then came on again within a few days. So more injector cleaner and better quality gas. Light still on. Then I changed out the fuel filter. And the car seemed to run better, but the light stayed on. I disconnected the positive terminal of the battery for a few minutes and the light reset and was off for about 20-30 miles. Then the light came back on. The car is "chugging" again. Maybe I got a tank of bad gas?? Any ideas?? I hate to bring it in and give someone $85 / hour if the answer is something simple that I could do.
