prolly to much salt water in the mix

j/k but i would check for vacuum leaks on the intake (if your running stock ecu with a MAF), check the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator. both can cause the car to run lean

On very rare occasions you may catch a bad batch of 93. I would try using shell or mobile gas. Or like Kevin D says check the vacuum line to the regulator.
