What kind of fuel are you using? I always use 95 octane which is called premium and only buy from BP, Caltex, Mobil or Shell. Stay away from the independent stores as they cuold be blending ethenol. You could have crap in your tank or your fuel pump could be stuffed. I heard of one idiot that put thinners in his tank to clean the injectors and the result was a melted fuel pump. A real mess. You really don't know the history of these grey imports.
