Get a valve adjustment. That will let you know if you have any engine damage (like mine did).

i ran a fuell system cleaner too (redline brand) and after the tank was gone, my CEL came on. changed the plugs and it was good to go.
I wont ever use that stuff again.

Well that means redline did its job. Usually you are suppose to change the plugs after you run a fuel system cleaner. Especially if its as strong as the redline one.

I dont want to scare you, but my old s2k had 2 very bent valves which caused misfires in all cylinders
