Im not trying to start a debate on ethanol fuels VS regular gas but speaking from experience Ive noticed recurring problems in my vehicles running ethanol blend gas (10% ) . My toyota 4Runner I owned would not run on ethanol blend, it had to have 100% pure gas to avoid predetonation.
Im facing a recurring problem of a slight miss in my wifes 2000 Toyota Camry and my 1997 Honda Accord (running a swapped engine on high octane.) When I run high octane race gas in my accord (105 octane, pure gas) it fixes the problem almost instantly for about 1000 miles. I obviously cant do this in my wifes Camry.
Everyone claims sea foam is the best to combat this problem but im seeking further input on the matter. Please, dont bash my statments, Im going on personal experiences that ethanol blended fuel is bad for older vehicles and just want to figure out a way to "safely" run the blended fuel without having to buy oxygen sensors constantly and keep an eye on my injectors. Thank you for your time.
