help!

I have an 89 camaro v6 with a 2.8l n a manual trans. It all started awhile ago I filled my car up with 87 gas like I always have and after that my car started hesitating, like I would give it gas and thn it would go and then all of a sudden just like pause and then shoot forward again and sumtimes I would hear a popping sound after the pause and it shooting forward again. So I thought it was bad gas so I got some sum stuff that is supposed to clean out the fuel system and I filled the car with 91. That did not work. So I decided to change the spark plugs and the fuel filter. After that I continued to use 91 gas and the car seemed to be running good but I noticed that when I would floor the gas pedal or give it a lot of gas all of a sudden to speed up the cars rpms would shoot way up and the car seemed slow to speed up as if I had the clutch pushed down as I gave it gas. Other than that the car was running good until 2day I was driving and needed gas and I didn't have enough money to fill up with 91 so I put a couple gallons of 87 and now my car is back to the hesitating like back in the begining. I have no idea what to do now, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanx

Re: help!

Check your throttle position sensor, you might have one or more bad spots in it. You also might want to check the wiring to it, make sure it's not grounding/shorting to something.
