honestly there is only a few things we can help you with over the internet. If I dont have the car, I really cant go into detail trying to diagnose it. Instead of wasting money tossing parts at it, why dont you take it to a shop and get it fixed right the first time?

93 Octane doesn't mean it can't be 'bad' gas. What is the sense of running 93 octane anyway if you have it tuned for 91? Just because it is a higher number doesn't mean it is better.
And this car is 11 years old. Things fail over time as much if not more so than over miles.

Uh I run 93 because a don't have 91. Only 87, 89, or 93. are you suggesting I rather run 89 on a 91 tune rather than 93?. And I understand that its not exactly a new car but i'm asking for help because I need it. If you took the time to read the beginning you'd understand that my issue happens with our without the tune. And as for being bad gas,I don't think I can have bad gas for 1 full year. I'm not a mechanic but i'm not an idiot either so please don't treat my post like I am. If my question bothers you then don't reply

I appreciate your help and the help i've gotten. But when someone posts a comment that seems aggressive I will reply as such. I can for help not for lectures by people who don't bother to read the post first. Any how, i'm going to change my aic and or tps and see what happens. If not I'll go from there. Thanks for your help dude and others who pitched in as well
