Explain what "WEAK" means, really. To me, it sounds like the battery is weak & so the starter doesn't spin the engine as fast as it used to. That's completely unrelated to the gasoline.

For starters, don't use higher octane gas than your car requires. You're not doing it a favor. Just stick to regular for a 97 4-banger. Is the engine running rough or with a low idle when you start it? Or is it actually slow turning over?
