...gas in it. Now sputtering? no warning light went off in the dash. If it was the plugs or valve wouldn't one of those sensor things go off?
It was almost on empty when he bought the gas at the gas station he always uses. We drove 20 miles to and back from town it acting up all way.I said it has to be the gas but he said that gas is the only gas he would use because it made in America by Americans(his words not mine) and it couldn't be that "NO WAY!"(that's how he said it like he made it himself). Once home he told me to buy new plugs and a new PVC valve for the engine and still swears it can't be the gas. Me I just pumped $10.00 of premium Shell gas in it and the gas hand didn't move. I will put more in later once he ain't looking(got VARY mad I used Shell gas). Could I be right about the gas from that other station being bad or could he be right it's the plugs and valve? It ran fine till we put in that gas.In fact I drove it 40 miles(he wasn't with me at that point) just before he put that gas in and it didn't act up at all.It only did AFTER he put in the gas and we drive 1/8 mile to edge of town.Wouldn't be even thinking I'm wrong but he so sure I am now I second guessing myself.
OH! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOLD CONTROLLING HE CAN BE!!!!
