Hi, My car works fine with Shell Optimax. However if I use Super unleaded then the engine shudders at 1000-1500 revs while trying to cruise in traffic without touching the rev pedal.

Is there something wrong?, or is my engine sensitive?The handbook states that the engine should be run on 98OCT (Optimax).

Check your timing...

should be at "0" degrees, check it with a timing light.

adjustment is via the DME box under the passenger seat.

special tool required for this, turns a little switch at the rear of the DME box.

with timing at 0, the car should run on normal unleaded. :D
