How was the whether out...was it cold or warm and what date did it occur . Winter gas contains MTBE which is an additive that prevents the gas from freezing , however if ur car has it and we get a warm front in the whether...car stall and really poor perfromance . April 1st is the date they change back over to normal gasoline with no MTBE . If this is not the case then I've seen a bunch of cars with over-tightened exhaust valves that cause misfires and stalling . Was it a one-time thing or often ?

That is absolutely what it is. I have had the same thing with winter gas and a warm day. I am interested in the fuel pressure regulator TSB. Increased fuel pressure might help this problem.
