[QUOTE="lachj1, post: 2501509, member: 5981"] I took my car out this morning and on my way back I had to get gas, I had to stop at cumberland farms. It's the only station in the area. Any way the pumps were pumping wicked slow and it took 5 minutes to get 3 gallons in the car. I then drove to my father's house about 4 miles away left the car and 2 hours later I picked it up to drive home. The car started so rough and was idling crazily. I limped it home, it would barely do 20 mph in 1 st gear. I was pumping the throttle and because the motor didn't have any power it was picking up boost with just a little throttle, I was careful to stay off the boost though. i stopped at a gas station, put 2 bottles of drygas and filled it up with premium, drove home and still wasen't any better,(4 more miles) When I got home I checked the plugs to see if I fouled them or it was water in the gas. The plugs looked awesomely clean, 1000 miles on the denso's. I put the plugs back in and started it and it was still running really rough. My last resort, I reloaded the xcal2 tune back in the car, started it up and it was fine from there on. My question, was it water in the gas and it decided to clear up at the same time I reloaded the tune. Or do these cars lose there tune from the memory banks?? and you have to reload the tune evry now and then. [/QUOTE]
