Do you use WALMART GAS? DID YOU CHANGE CAT OR IS IT STOCK IT MIGHT BE CLOGGED, DID YOU BUY A RICER PERFORMANCE CHIP ON EBAY?

Thanks for your post

Walmart gas is the same as any other gas
Clogged cat wouldn't do it for only around 70mph
Ricer performance chip dumps fuel in rather than choke it, so wouldn't cause that


Any CEL's? It's possible you have a bad O2 sensor. Personally I would do all the cleaning threads (FITV/IACV/TB) and some seafoam

ok bro do your research on walmart gas do you think its funny that they sell injector cleaner at pump. whenever i use that gas on my accord and maxima along with my parents chevy truck and is300 its loses power or bogs sometimes have to use a injector cleaner to clear it up. Remember you get what you pay for. Walmart has less additives. Clogged cat will mess up peformance awhole lot. Yes he can check o2 that may be problem. I purchased one of those ebay chip and it mad me run sluggish

 

They sell injector cleaner at EVERY gas station.

Walmart simply sells in bulk - which is why everything they have is generally cheaper. If you buy a Samsung tv at Walmart for $400 and it's the same model as the Best Buy one for $500 then it's the same.

Walmart doesn't magically have it's own gas, it just buys in bulk from another distributor and what not - that's why you don't see a "Shell/Exxon/BP/etc" because it's cheaper then their main places.

 

i use shell gas all the time..never cheap and i still use fuel injection cleaner...so thats not the problem..it might be clogged cat that makes sense..but i dont know.. the car just started about a day or 2 ago to stutter when around 2-3k rpm when i floor it it doesnt do it..but when i let off the gas a little it does it or when i hit the gas slowly it stutters..i really dont know whats going on wish i knew so i could just fix it...its embarrassing its way too slow sound like a civic with a d15 and a ebay exhaust loud but doesnt move.. so sad

 

ok bro do research on different things added to gas buy companies they all start with same product and from there they add chemicals for example look at chevron ever wonder why there so expensive? they add techron

 

lol

Did you google it yourself?
