PROBLEM
a couple days ago i put $10 of gas at a place where i never fill up but i needed gas bad. well anyways i started up my car today to go to school and it seemed a lil rough. as i was driving everytime i got on it the car was jerky and never wanted to go. do u think this could b bad gas? or somethin alot worse?? thanks for ur guys help
but keep in mind, it could just be bad timing. could be spark plugs, fuel filter etc. try putting some 93 octane in there, see if it smooths out a little.
Sometimes GTs will "gurgle" or sputter a bit when the engine is cold.
Try these in order (running the car after each one)
- Drain the tank, fill with different gas
- Clean the MAF
- Change the fuel filter
- Service or replace the IAC
- Service/replace fuel pump
That should solve it...And about your 93 octane question; No. If you mix different octane ratings of gas, it will basically just average out. There shouldn't be a problem. Bad gas isn't extremely uncommon, so try new gas first!
