Tuning may be the issue. Pull the plugs and check them for cracks as well as how the tips look( White hot/ black etc.) also check for any small exhaust leaks in your system. Good luck with it.

So i put 93 in it and i dont no y but the alternator went out on my way home from the shop and i did notice went it pops the gauge is jumping around??? So can that be a problem just not enough power?? Thanks guys for your help
