problem: car jerks (misfires) when you press the gas after a while.
Ok, so my car seems to jerk (misfire) when I have the gas pressed for a while. Everything is fine, if I keep my rpms under or around 2.5, however, if I start to stay in one gear and press the gas for a while, my car starts to jerk. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Stuff that occured, which Im not sure if they were the cause or not was.
1) A couple days ago, I was on the freeway shifting from 3rd to 4th, but my hand slipped and shifted to 2nd instead of 4th (shifted around 3k rpms on 3rd gear).
2) Put in a full tank of 91 Chevron gasoline, however the gas prices at that station was alot less than any other.
Oh and I got it vagged and there were no error codes.

get vagged and log timing/timing retard and boost requested/actual.
Along with air-fuel.
you may have torched a spark plug. Someone might have stepped on your gasoline (AKA the water hose).
