Ok I'll have to admit up front that I made a dumb azz mistake.

I bought it used had it since April and didn't know until today i was supposed to use PREMIUM gas.... I have been using regular grade fuel in my car and it has affected my H2o sensor and i guess its blown so my car cuts off on me but will start right back up....

what do I do? If I start using premium gas will it fix it's self and stop cutting off? even if I don't change that sensor?


Thanks~

Is your car a Turbo? Mine is NA and I have always used regular gas with no problems. I'm assuming that you mean your O2 (Oxygen) sensor, not an H20 (water) sensor :blush:. You might be able to clean the sensor but most likely will need to replace it. If you don't change or clean the sensor then the car will continue to run badly. Check your owners manual for the grade of gas recommended.
