Thank you for you input Joey,, But after a engine diagnostic check, we determined that it was a oxygen sensor, and a miss fire on the second cylinder. So I'll start by replacing the plugs and cleaning the O2 sensors to see if that clears it up,, I don't want to replace the plug wires right yet, because that looks like that's gonna be a major operation. Also,I'm not sure if the gas treatment had anything to do with the problem, but I don't think I'll be using gas additives again in my Land Rover,,, Thanks again

Is this fuel from the states? or somewhere else? The fuel anywhere I have ever been in the U.S. is very clean stuff. I guess I am confused on why you feel the need for treatments?

I live in Michigan,, I recently purchased my 2003 Discovery, and as I do with all of my cars, thought it would be a good idea to run some fuel treatment through it,, I guess I thought wrong :hmpf:

Go get your codes read and you will fund it wasn't from the gas additive.
If you want to clean out your fuel system the best and oldest product is made by BG and is call 44K, for best results use it when you are going to be on a couple hour drive.
