Hey can someone please help me. I took my 2002 v6 to the store and got some gas. After that took it to another store it was fine but then onm the way home at a light it started shaking really bad and like studders. A little hard to explain. When i parked it and got out it smells like it was burning something. Checked under the hood no leaks nothing out of the ordinary just shaking and smells funny. Any ideas

 

There are quite a few things it can be. Honestly I think the best advice anyone can give you at this point is to get it to a shop/dealership to have it looked at. Try not to drive it if you can help it.

I havnt personally experianced that problem, where is the oil pressure, where is the temp guage, what is it idling at and when does it vibrate most?

There isnt a whole lot we can help you with for major engine problems, again take it to a mechanic.


Good luck getting that taken care of, if worse comes to worse just get another V6 for it but try to get a 4.2L. If you dont want another V6 then if you have enough money you can do a V8 swap.

the new fuel probably has water in it. (mabey raining when the trucks filled the underground tanks up)

 

drain/syphon the tank and fill it with gas from a different place and start with that. if it was the gas having water in it thats not gonna be good to drive around till te tank is gone

 

Hey this may sound kinda stupid but if i was to syphon the tank into a gas can or something. I have done this before to transfer gas between vehicles or to get to the fuel pump inside the tank on other cars but what would i do with this gas since it may have water in it. I've never had to dispose of gas so don't really know what to do with it. any ideas?

 

There is a stablizer that you can buy for gas with water in it. I can't remember what it's called off hand, but it's made just for this type of thing. Check a parts store.
