Default 5.4 bad fuel/ plugged injector? p0308/p0316

truck started to miss on me last week and after a few miles threw a CEL, i was able to get the truck home. started to mess with it and cleaned the maf and replaced fuel filter, no change. ran some seafoam and dry gas through the tank and put in 15 gallons fresh gas with no change- driving it 8-10 miles. took it to the autozone yesterday to get codes read and got a p0308 and a p0316, the truck ran beautiful on the 12-15 mile trip to autozone and back. i know what the codes say and i plan on having the plugs/cops and injectors inspected and maybe replaced this week. my question is could all of the codes be because of bad fuel-- seems like it came and went away too fast to have been plugs/cops/injectors. thanks---tuey

Water+gas=missing....very well could be. If it was a cop/plug thing is wouldn't have just went away. Has there been alot of rain in your area?

yes-- but i think it was more in the gas not in the atmosphere. i will drive it some more tonite and see if it really stopped missing and throwing codes. second theory was that i got dirt somehow in the injector and it was cleaned out with the chemicals. truck has run so well that i really never had any engine problems before this. thanks for your input----tuey
