Charcoal canisters don't become clogged, although in exceptional cases, they can become saturated with liquid fuel which ruins their ability to store fuel vapors. If the premature shut of the refueling nozzle is occasional that is not an issue but...
Hi there. Getting to the O2 sensors are tricky without removing some additional components or using specialty tools. You might want to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete an O2 sensor replacement to help you....
Hi there. The Lucas oil stabilizer should not have caused any issues. The P0019, P0022, P0300, P0305, P0307, and P0308 codes are all related to bank(2). The camshaft position out of sync has, more than likely, led to the misfire...
