If it drives well at temperature, go drive it like you just got a Dear John letter and your dog dies while you were reading it and a tree fell through your front window....that may get the system back into normal sync.

Not sure, I can drive it. As I hit the throttle, the engine completely bogs down. I can try to let it warm up and then drive it. Is it safe to drive with all the backfiring? Am I going to do more harm? I did put Shell Premium, so I do use good gas (though not to say their are not other contaminants in it)

Thanks,

Chuck
