I've been having the same exact problem too. I put a bottle of injector cleaner in and burned all of the nasty gas off, then filled up at a different station. This was just last night so it may be too soon to tell, but it seems to have cleared up. I didn't think it was the gas either but I couldn't find anything else wrong. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

Well guys it's still doing it but not nearly as much. I'm not really sure what my next step is yet. I'm getting a bit frustrated. If any of you find anything out please post it here so the rest of us can give it a shot.
I've noticed on the three ls1 based boards that I frequent there's alot of people getting this lately. Noone that I know of has been able to figure it out yet. Good luck all.

The more gas I have in the tank, the less it happens I've noticed. I still don't understand why it would happen with 1/2 tank though. I'm gonna check out all of my fuel lines, starting at the gas tank.

Yeah guys Im going to go ahead and order the injectors and change them in a week or 2. I have seen 2002ss camaro having bad injectors. Mine only causing a problem after they have been heat soaked and the system is all pressured up. When the car is completetly cooled down it works fine.

just call them up and ask to speak to the service dept. tell them the problem your having and ask if they can find out if the is a TSB on it. I did for my m6 because I had problems putting my car in reverse..that and I have a few friends that work at the dealership

did you already check for vaccum leaks as well? has it been scanned for codes? no bad sensors or anything right?
