I own a 94' 4 cylinder automatic chevy cavalier. I recently accidentally added gas to my car but it had been mixed with oil. Ever since, the car only goes about 35 mph, and the engine shakes pretty bad when I step on the gas at first. I just wanted to know if anybody knew what this could've done to my car and, what would be even better, is if somebody knew how I could fix this problem. It would be a BIG help!!

well number one get rid of that mixed gas!!

second run engine with clean gas and some fuel injector cleaner

change spark plugs because they r full of oil and carbon

try it and see what happens now

p.s also replace fuel filter just in case and make sure tank is clean

good luck

So you put 2-stroke in your car, lol, I bet it smokes like a freight train! It shouldn't cause any permanent damage, we all make mistakes.
