I ended up taking to a dealer today monday. the airflow sensor had to be replaced. They said I was lucky it was on warranty and the damage did not extend as far as the injection system. The moral of the story.....never fiddle around with the emission system and make sure the gas cap is always tight and never to overfill the gas tank. So the dealer said.
