Bizarre Problem

[DSM4me44]

Well I have no idea how to research this topic on here because it is really bizare.

I was driving and my car was completely fine then i was boosting then it felt like it just took a dump. After that my car didn't run right. When it would boost it would stutter and would act like it wanted to die. Then it got worse and i could barely drive it and it would stutter and then die. I check my spark plugs, made sure they were gapped at the coorect .28. I threw a check engine light too. I reset my ECU and everything by disconnecting the negative on the battery. After connecting it back my car was fine and no check engine light.

What could that have been and will it happen again?

Thanks,

Ben

If it stutters when you are about to go into boost, And won't make any power or boost.. It sounds like you blew off one of your intercooler pipes. Check all the connections for your upper and lower intercooler pipes, Make sure they are all clamped down tight, Then report back if that is not the problem.

I did check those and those are fine, because thats what i thought it might be. But like i said i reset my ECU and its fine now, so thats what i don't understand. I mean it was REALLY bad before to the point i couldn't drive a few feet without stalling.

have you done a boost leak test? make your own tester if you don't have one. you can find a link to directions to making your own on this site.

I think i may have found the problem.

When the problem started was when i put 92 grade Speedway gas in, and i hate speedway.

I put in 93 grade Marithon gas in today like i normally do and the car ran really really well with no problems.

Could it have been bad gas???
