car sputters
i have a 87 camaro 2.8 v6 when i get on the gas to speed up it sputters a lil and keeps going till i come to a stop and then it is fine i put 93 octane gas in it and then i just yesterday put 89 because of rising gas prices. I am guessing it is the fufel mixture at least i hope that is what it is. what else could be the colprut of this problem. I also just a couple months back put flowmasters on it.
TIA

You can mix 87 89 and 93 and You will never know the differance. Your problem is not gas. It could be a variety of tings wrong. Any engine lights? Could be a faulty maf, TPS sensor, or even a miss from a bad plug or wire. Cap or rotor?

put some fuel injector cleaner in the tank and im going to change the tranny filter and fluid the one thing i just now relized is the tranny sometimes jerks when i get on the gas when changing gears when in overdrive and drive. what could be the problem i have checked the plugs and they are good so what else do i need to check if i can't fix it off to a pro it goes friday morning.

Heres a list of common culprits:
Fuel Filter
MAF Power and Burnoff Relay
Cap/Rotor
EGR Valve
More Serious:
Fuel Pump
Vaccum leak
Injectors, although uncommon, our cars are getting old and they foul out.
Hopes this helps
