California's Gas The Worst In The World???

[BuickPower3800]

As you probably know, California has strict regulations on its gasoline. They put so many additives in it that by the time its all said and done its not true gas any more!! I have had my car in the shop several times do to the gas we have here. Sometimes my engine will stall and idle erratically. The dealer cant find anything wrong with my car. They said it was do to the fuel. They also said that they get 5 or 6 cars in a day with the same problem I have. I have also noticed that in California you can only get 91 octane fuel, but in everyother state you can get 93. What gives????

No, it's not the worse in the world. You have something else wrong. It's not the fuel. I run four SC and turbo cars on 91 octane. All run fine.

I assume it ran fine with the Fast Chip at one time....

You need to describe the symptoms a bit more. How does it come on, how long does it last, etc.

My first guess is you have a crack coil tower or tracking wire(s) and plug(s).

I will have to agree with TK...plugs...and add check injectors!
