stp fuel treatment and wrong gas high idle oops
Tuesday, February 03, 2009 11:39 AM
well i was low on gas so to stopped by the station and filled her up along with a red bottle of stp cuz it's cold up here started it up and it idled at about 3000 turned it off and realized i put in 89 octane drove it to work without touching the gas 65mph in i 90 i guess i'll just keep "watering" it down w/ 87 octane ive never had this happen before stupid station had 89 to the left and 87 in the middle could this be bad?

completely coincidental. sounds more like you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

lol, if your profile is filled out correctly then you have a stock motor and the car doesn't require anything more than 87. remember - econobox

Vaccuum leak or stuck throttle body.
