Bad gas?
Bad gas?
Hi guys. Haven't been around much lately - bought a Shadow 750 ACE a couple weeks back, so I've been riding more than driving lately.
Filled up the Camaro Sat night last thing. Sun morning, off-idle accel seemed off. When it got it on the freeway, it started to "miss" - not really, but that's close. Running 70 in od (auto) it was fine, but let off the gas then back on and it lugs like it needs to downshift. Idle is now also very rough - almost like too much cam (it's stock).
Been travelling, so I burned through that tank of gas today and refilled. It seems a bit better, but hard to tell. Any thoughts? Remember, it was fine Sat, then started acting up Sun, on a new tank of gas.
Thanks, and
KTSSU,

Well, you could dump in some injector cleaner; check the plugs to make sure none of them are fouling, maybe it'll clear up. If it doesn't, maybe this was just "coincidence" that something broke as you filled up... Any big difference in temperature where you live?

Though checking of the plugs was a good idea...
