Default Something is definetly wrong

I dont know what happened but all of a sudden last night my truck started to misfire very badly It'll chug out and feels like it wants to die for some reason... Happens when I try to get in the gas, I give it more than half throttle and the truck just bogs out... I get the flashing SES light so thats the only way I know there is a misfire This was just after I put gas in. I left the station and went to haul back to the house and it didnt want to Anybody have any ideas?

Check your cai. Make sure it's hooked up at all the connections. Mine came off before and did the same thing to me.

Well, since it started directly after filling up with gas - that's the first thing I would check.

Checked connections right after I posted this... Checked connections for my injectors, anything I could see, I wiggled and pushed to make sure it is tight...

I just dumped some Lucas treatment in it. Gettin ready to go back to work. Hopefully it'll run itself through... Sucks because I put half a tank in it

ok, nothing is helping! It might even be getting worse When I get in the gas it really bogs down. Feels like someone dropped a ton of rock on the front end... I just hooked my amp and subs back up... could it have messed with the pcm or something? I am lost here... It just started out of nowhere

Siphon all that gas out and start there,

check plugs, wires, CAI, MAF

Unplug the battery for a half hour or so

Try the simple stuff first

I'b bet anything you've got a bad plug or wire. I had that happen to me twice with both my 04's and both times it was a bad wire.

If you got bad gas, additives may not help. You need to drain out the old and get some fresh gas in there. IMO, there's a strong possibility you got bad gas.

EDIT: A flashing SES light is usually an indicator of multiple cylinder misfire also...

Went to Auto Zone and had them read my codes for me... Here they are... P0172 Bank 1 too rich
P0300 Random Misfires
P0101 MAF sensor condition
I checked the wires going to my MAF and as best as I can tell, it's fine. Tomorrow I'll take it out and make sure it's clean and everything... Is there any way to lean it out with out tuning? I am getting retuned by Rhyno79 next month, but he is in Arkansas.
