[QUOTE="Shhhh, post: 16122652, member: 110822"] Yep, Pit Stop in Peachtree City,GA sells VP100 unleaded right out of the pump(Though I may switch over the cans after this). I asked how often they get a truck in and the guy I spoke with didn't know. I know at one point probably 3 years ago I was trying to get gas and It took them about 2 weeks before the gas truck came back in. So maybe it sits in the tanks for a while? It seems like the gas may have been the issue. I left first thing this morning and grabbed some Heet. Dumped it in the tank and started it up. Ran just as bad as last night but I figured I'd try to take it around the block and see if anything changes with the tank being slushed around. It was still sputtering but it seemed to be smoothing out so I kept driving it. Ended up driving it for about 20-30 minutes (stop and go/highway/backroads) and when I got home I let it idle in the garage and it just purred. I cleared the code and that was around 9am. Went and started it up again(~11:30am) and let it idle up to operating temp. Smooth as glass. So I guess I'll just baby it on this tank and maybe when I get to a 1/2 I'll throw in some fresh 93 and start buying the 100octane from the cans for insurance. If anything else pops ups or it throws a code again I'll keep you guys updated but fingers crossed for now. I only have ~4600 miles on it so the gas does tend to sit longer then I'd like. I'm guessing a bad tank of gas combined with moisture already being introduced into the system from sitting was the culprit? Thanks for all the help and information! [/QUOTE]
