Wrong Gas
!995 SC400 that my 16 year old daughter drives. The car was running great until she put mid grade gas in it. After that it sounded like it was missing on all cyls and no power. I put octane booster in it and its alot smoother but now the cats get red hot.I have 2 new cats coming but what else should i do, 02 sensors etc.

I put 10 gal of the gas in my chevy pickup and refilled the sc with 10 gal of fresh 92, the car idle is smooth but driving it, it has zero power and the cats get red hot. The truck is running great on the 10 gal of gas out of the car.

Thanks for the help everyone, I found a pinched coil wire under the cover grounding to the block. Changed it and is running great. I'm still going to change the cats when they come in however, getting them red hot is never a good thing for them.
