basically its like a mini gas pedal for the ecu to speed up the engine when it requires extra power.



ok yesterday i drove it about 40 miles expressway driving, it was snowing at like 930pm, i got off after about 30 min it sputtered once right b4 idrove into a gas station at about a half tank, i filled up and it wouldnt start so i waited 10 min, started very rough then died as soon as i left the lot, so i pulled to the side waited 30 min tried it, it started fine, ran with no problems for the next 15 min city driving back to my house



idk maybe water in the tank it still seems, what kind of dry gas is good? seafoam worked well in my family's cars, idk about the rubber apex seals tho



thanks for all ur advice so far. i'll check it for codes tomorrow

I use heet whenever I think I have water in the tank. Apex seals are metal, not rubber. The apex, corner, and side seals are all metal and should keep any additives from getting to the rubber oil seal. I use shell or bp gas when I can and haven't had a water fuel issue. Some of the smaller mom and pop stations I've had issues with though....

Ok I found the problem hopefully the last genius who changed my plugs last put the trailing where the leading should be. I put new plugs in and I'm gonna run the gas low its already at 1/8 tank then see if the problem is there still
