Default Car sputtering? Wrong type of GAS, or fuel filter?
Here's my problem. i have a poor man's type r, and my car started sputtering all through the powerband. the past 3-4 days ive been using RACETRAC 93octane gas...is that the problem? or is it the fuel filter which is long overdue for a change...? thanks.

as i go through gears 1-5 the car would run normally but seem to sputter a little and bog down...kind of hard to explain.

sparkplugs, sparkplug wire, distributor cap and rotor those might be the culprit if not anything else

mine used to bogg at idle. Turns out i used 87 gas instead of 91. I got a B16. You might have had a bad batch of gas.

at OP:
It's always possible you got a bad batch of gas...though 89 octane should be sufficient...might even be able to use 87...what's ur comp?
