I stopped by the gas station yesterday and put 6 gallons in. As I accelerated out of the station I could feel her hesitating. Just very quick pauses in forward momentum, sort of a stutter. It was apparent while cruising at a constant speed, too. I would compare the feeling to when my auto trans upshifts only a little more noticeable, more abrupt. It rained pretty hard a couple days before that and I wonder if the station may have had water in their tanks. It's still doing it, mostly in the morning when I first start out, then it seems to run normally. I've had no other issues, it doesn't stall, it starts fine (hot or cold), idles perfect... no other issues, just the stutter.

Any thoughts?

Add a LITTLE sea foam to tank, run it really low... Or empty... Then top off and do the sea foam treatment again.

Sometime the TPS is supper finicky with moisture. Possibly the excess moisture in atmosphere got to it. Take off entire TB and pull off all sensors and let em dry..

Idk...

Go to the gas station and tell them and get your money back... with the prices of gas now it should be so clean and pure but it's not

It could just be a coincidence that it started doing this right after but she was running perfect before I got gas and started doing this very noticeable stutter thing as I drove away from the station :/ I'm guessing that if there was water in the gas the station attendant isn't going to admit to it.

It's pretty low now so I may fill up over the weekend and see if new gas fixes it before I go touching anything up front. In my experience, opening the hood usually causes something unexpected to break or fall off and if I go touching wires and sensors then she usually spends a week laid up in the driveway with a mysterious no spark/no fuel/no go situation because some obscure connector failed or sensor cooked it's little brains. So, I usually avoid stuff up there unless it's absolutely necessary. For now, it only seems to do it for the first two or three miles after sitting overnight then runs fine. I can live with that until I can afford to fill her up.

Thanks for the tip about the TPS, I may investigate that if new gas doesn't remedy the problem.
