I was driving from bribie island the other week and I fueled at the bp (98 Octane) I gave it a bootful and it felt like it held back for a second then chugged and coughed backfired I backed off immediately and pulled over, it was running very very rough. I turned it off and back on and was still running rough. I revved engine and it seemed fine after like 1500rpm held it on 1500-2000 rpm for bout 10 seconds and came back to normal. Could it be injectors???? Im totally lost on this one. In neutral I can rev up to 5000-5500 RPM no worries. Can Anyone help??

could be dirty fuel, if you can siphon it out and fill it with different fuel maybe that could work?

hi I went to willowbank yesterday and put bp 98 and my car was missing and pinging down the 1/4 mile also had a surge in third gear so I know the fuel is the reason for pinging. I'm going to change fuel filter and put shell or mobile in it and see how it goes

do you have a boost gauge? what does it read when you put the boot in?

check your CAT and check your boost levels.
