Stalling,poor performance

[CHUMP CHANGE]

Installed new plugs...changed gas to higher octane...still stalls...

[NCStateRedline]

what exactly do you mean by stalling? Have you gone into limp mode? Have you checked the throttle body?

[badassgixxer05]

did you forget to use the clutch??

[NCStateRedline]

better yet, changed gas to higher octane? what have you been running and what did you switch it to?

[XeroState]

Proper gap for the plugs? Improper gaps can make a car run like crap.. if it even starts

[CHUMP CHANGE]

No clutch...Automatic...Plugs are Bosch($6.00) each...pre-gapped(4-prong) Thanks...

[NCStateRedline]

So you don't have a redline???

[badassgixxer05]

Maybe a simple answer but...just unplug the battery let it sit for 15 minutes then reconnect it (ie reset). Then fire it up and see if it still runs like crap. I think you mean "limp mode" (ie limited to no power and sputtering) because automatic cars don't stall. Do you mean you start it up, it runs for like 3 minutes sputtering, then the engine kicks off? Then you should just take it to a mechanic because it could be a host of things.

"limp mode" was brought up because I thought he was running an LSJ like the 99.999% of everyone else on this forum
