hey guys, heres the prob. lately when i've been driving my car everything will be normal, then all of a sudden i will just lose like half of my horsepower..... the motor will start to bogg and backfire...... and also gets really cold. it happens for about 5-10 seconds at a time. i don't know what to do. can you guys help please! thanks alot

 

If you have a manual, you can probably troubleshoot as to what the problem might be.
Maybe it's fuel problem. Or it could be a clogged air filter/housing.
When was the last time you did a tune up?? DId you check your plugs, cap and rotor??

 

ok i figured it out... aparently the 92 Octance Chevron gas that i filled up with acctually like below 87 octance... so it was ****ing up my car.... is that not gay?!:fawk:

 

Then it wasnt a knock.
It was more like a ping.

 

do ya think i should throw in the octane booster in my next tank?

 

I use Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner.

 

awesome ... thanks for ur help

 

every 6 months I pour a bottle of rubbing alchoal (sp) to a half tank then fill it up and run it down and fill up again. it cleans the injectors and fuel ines and is cheaper then injector cleaner and dont harm the motor as much.

 

First time I hear that.

 

if you read a botle of injectore cleaner its mostly alchoal(sp) anyways. like more then 90%. so why spend $2-3 on that when a bottle of alchoal is $.98 at wal-mart. Works the same. cleans the injectors and the spark plugs.
