Big problem help

rezzykid08 · 07-09-2009

Okay my car has the 91 octane tune. Went to phoenix and my car was tugging spittering and spattering. I step on the gas and it just starts tugging Again wouldn't let me go faster than 65-70. Would this be from my fuel filter or what. Help me here please

i am by far no expert, although i had the same problem with mine last month. i replaced the fuel filter and the plugs and it went away. my prob(i think) started with getting bad gas which led to plug prob for sure, but the filter was just to be on the safe side. hope this helps

could be bad gas or fuel filter. Did this just happen after getting gas or it was fine with those speeds and it just suddenly happened?

check the plugs

replace the filter

and fill up with some good gas!

hope it gets better

did it throw any codes?

my first guess is the bad fuel sent errors to the pcm, which in turn caused the fuel circuitry to fry which caused some sort of fuel/valve issue which in turn caused a piston rod/ crank problem which will cause a total breakdown in a couple days

but its probably the fuel filter

I'd pull and inspect those plugs.

another common problem, if not the fuel filter, if it runs ok slow but breaks down at higher speeds, fuel pump.

the altitude differance between page az and phoenix is about 3000ft which could have lead to a lean mixture with some bad gas could be your problem

yeah i'm thinking it's the fuel filter also, i went and bout some bosch platinum plus sparks and put them in, still did the same but it kind of went away, just in the lower gears now when i'm turning, ordered the fuel filter todoay, won't be in till tomorrow. well i've been gasing up at Maverik, is that cheap gas or what, well maybe it could of been the altitude as well cause here in Page Az, it's about 95, and phoenix in the other hand was around 107, damn it was hot, but i'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow, thanks alot for all the comments,
