Loss of gas power after buying gas
Bought gas for 2007 GS 350 and immediately had a loss of gas power. I was not able to travel over 40 miles per hour. A few times had to pull over going up a hills due to loss of gas power.
I ran codes at Auto Zone and received P0158, P0606, P0300, P0352,P0303.
I will try a new gas cap, assuming I did not get bad gas. I put fluid into the gas that helps if I received bad gas but it was no help. The Check engine light is on, VSC, traction control or anti skid and also the "!" is on as well.
Any ideas before I have to take to the dealer or an Auto Shop.
Thank you in advance and I am sorry if this has already been posted but I am new to this site.

Same problem.....help!
FREAKIN DUDE AT THE GAS STATION COMPLETELY LEFT MY GAS CAP OFF AFTER PUMPING '87' INTO MY TANK ...NOW EVEN AFTER REPLACING CAP I HAVE THE SAME LIGHTS ON FOR A WEEK NOW. HOW DO I AVOID GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAYING AN ARM N A LEG TO JUST REMOVE THESE WARNING LIGHTS? WILL A BATTERY DISCONNECT WORK?

^ usually I don't recommend clearing the code. Best have dealer check it out.
if you still really want to clear the code, which will clear the check engine light too... you can borrow Autozone code reader and use it to clear the code.

This doesn't look like anything gas-cap related IMO. You're having tons of misfire codes. Could be you picked up bad gas or your car has WATER in the gas. Might want to try the gas cap remedy first, then take it to a mechanic.
FYI: During my gas cap failure, I had no such problems. Car drove perfectly fine, it was just a CEL and TCS off.....I think that's about it. Wish you the best of luck OP!
If it's obviously gas cap issue, go to autozone and just have them reset the codes. You're probably going there to pick up a new gas cap anyways, right?

Did you happen to fill up when there was a tanker there delivering gas to the station? I will never fill up gas when I see a tanker... when they deliver the fuel, it stirs up all of the detritus that usually just settles harmlessly at the bottom of the tanks underground - sand, scum, water.
Unless it's just a fluke then I think you got a tank with too much water.

I'm definitely feeling the same way Jay.... especially with the fact that the car still RUNS..... If it were diesel, the car would have died after about 30s-1min time on the road.
