ehehe i work at bp....(not the gas station)

not sure about u guys but we get bad gas a lot.

try draining the gas or using the gas to completion - don't go into boost....you will be knocking like hell. OR dump some race gas in and have a mixture it should raise your octane level and the car should run fine.

other than that check for a boost leak.

are u tuned?

I have a 1991 twin turbo 300zx, I filled up once at qt I am tuned at 91 octane (kansas city). I smelled gas coming from my exhaust my car wouldn't hit full boost which is 15 psi. Stock is 10 I just filled up with 92 as I went to try to even it out. Worked out great now I fill up at shell, F*CK QT. I actually think it was kind of my fault, when filling up I did click 91 octane when filling I noticed the gas gun wouldn't click and automatically fill.
So I think I hand pumped grade **** fuel in. (learned from my mistake) x.x luckly it only cost me high adrenaline for 5 minutes my friend thought I was going to have a heart attack I was over reacting lmao.

I would check the fuel pressure, check for boost leaks, clean the maf sensor if you have a maf still, get a spark tester and check spark, also run it somewhere dark and see if your spark plug wires have a crack in them you will see the sparks with it running if they are cracked. My 1g eclipse sputtered like crazy only when I would go full throttle but if I got on it slowly it was fine I founf that one of the spark plug wire tubes was cracked replaced it and has been fine ever since. Good luck!
