i noticed yesterday that about every20-30 sec while idleing my car would miss out, or just bog for a second. Well today i pulled the spark plugs and they were kind of ashy looking im not sure if thats normal. Today it got a little worse about every 5-10 sec. yesterday when i noticed it doing this was about 30 min after i bought premium gas from a differant place than usuall. i filled up at the shell tonight with premium and it still does it not really as bad though. it doesnt do it when the AC is turned on, and i cant feel it while im driving. it sounds kind of like my exause is burping when it does this as weird as it sounds. ive heard it might be bad gas what do you guys think....any help is appriciated. thanks!!!

Well if you think its bad gas toss in some injector cleaner. Im not so sure about the bad gas theory however.

Why not get new plugs and wires and maybe a new fuel filter.

at least replace the plugs and see if that helps

While you had the plugs out why didnt you just go ahead and replace them?

Be sure to get ngk's

sounds like someone is past due for a tune up

Sounds like you're missing to me. Definately try changing the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Try some Splitfire "V" plugs.

I would NOT get the splitfire plugs. If you're gonna replace plugs and wires replace with OEM/NGK..

I'm only speaking from experience. I have a set of stock NGK that were in my car for a day. I put the Splitfires back in because the NGKs made my car idle like ****.

Info we need to know. Are you tuned to run a shot of juice? If not Im sure you've fried your plugs.

Ronnie00si

tuned????? i was told to use my factory plugs. and not to retard my timing unless going bigger than a 75 shot. is there any other kind of tuning i should do?...thank you guys for the replies so far.
