Title pretty much explains it.
Yesterday...out of the blue....with 1/2 tank,car lost power....it was still running, but when I pushed on gas pedal.....nothing was there. This all started after my duty day.....so...I drove in on Wednesday > and then drove it at 1800 for my tour. Car then sat till 1400 on Thursday. Driving home (about 30 miles) later is when indications started.
Change fuel filter today > car would only crank over for a bit....but I finally got it started and drove it down the street. Stalled out on me....but seemed to improve a bit on the way home. I did get the SES light to come in.....then it cleared on it's own.
Parked the car > yellow oil light came in. I have never had to add oil to my car and check it religiously.
Checked oil > 3/4 qt low.
Read code > P0301 cylinder 1 misfire.
