High octainToo much water in fuel,makeing the engine hard to combust.Clean out your gas tank.Put high octain fuel,even had octain, your car will run smooth, 150 octain is what i run in mt fuel dragster,if i only ran 85 like what you uselly get at the pnmps today, it would stall constantly.An engine wants explosive energy,thats the only way period.

^ That's absolutely false. Octane is a measurement of a fuel's resistance to detonation. Drag cars and high compression vehicles need high octane fuel to stop the fuel from rapidly combusting too early on the compression stroke. Higher octane fuel has absolutely nothing to do with "explosive energy."

While water in the fuel is a possibility, you'll need to be more specific, ie conditions, type of vehicle. The problem could be fuel related or electric related as well.
