Same Symptoms, Different Engine Type

Post by jfrawley »

1982 FI Spider.......Started it up and she ran fine. Went to the gas station, filled it up, put a little Stabil in for winter storage, and now it runs like crap. Won't idle and misses badly at low RPM's. Any thoughts?

I think Id siphon the gas and add it to your other vehicles a few gallons at a time.

Its been years since I have gotten a bad tank of gas... but you might have. Was the pump at the station running especially slow?

If it is just a bad tank of gas, the fix is simple.. but don't smoke while draining your tank! Boom! :shock:
