Water in gas tank? Add a can of heet. An injector acting up? Add Techron Fuel Treatment. Use Tier 1 gasoline

Techron is Exxon's/Mobil fuel injector cleaner. Sold at parts stores. They also add in their normal gasoline formulation. Next cheapest is to rid any water that MIGHT be in your fuel tank by adding bottle of HEET. If using some off brand gasoline, try BP, Mobil, Exxon, Kwik Trip, Phillips or another gas station mentioned in your area.

Ok I'll try some. I only use Sunoco gas. I've searched a lot I see some people have the same issue but no solution.

It does sound like water in your gas. Like he said, try HEET because it does take out water in your gas. Is that the only thing that's going on with the car?

Symptomatic of a dirty TB and/or fuel filter. How many miles on the car? Wouldn't hurt to run a tank or 2 of SeaFoam.
