cant get car running good

Re: cant get car running good

a guy at work was telling me that he wonders that i got fuel with water because before i parked it i filled up my tank at a cheap gas station. so he says is the water taveled up to the injector and corroded inside enough to make one or some to run crapy

Could be a few different things! Could be water in the fuel system. Could be a clogged fuel filter. Might also wanna check around for any vaccum leaks!
