Bad fuel = ruff idle? Octane?
This weekend my car was experiencing a pretty ruff idle...not horrible but vibrating pretty bad at stop lights. It was enough for me to look into ordering wires/cap/rotor. I added some RedLine fuel additive and it's now purring smoothly and running great.
I bought this stuff a few months ago and swore I noticed a difference...but thought it might be a placebo effect. My car ran better 10 minutes after adding it...and solved the problem.
Would bad fuel cause this situation? Would using a higher octane fuel increase performance?
Thanks,
BO
