ok i have a 93 toyota camry xle with a v6 engine in it. over the past month it had been occasionally hesitating, power surging, and having a low idle but not enough to actually kill the car. anyways we checked the spark plugs and wires they are fine, cap and rotor is fine, we cleaned the throttle body with that spray cleaner stuff, and my husband did the best he could at doing a general lookover at the car. anyways we had a similar problem last year so we changed the fuel filter which was beyond dirty and it fixed the problem immediatly. so we finally changed it again and it seemed to help the problem. we went almost a week without anything , then just today we were pulling out of a parking spot and as we started to go forward and accelorate the car once again started power surging a little. does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? also yesterday while filling up the gas tank we put in some octane booster to help clean the fuel lines could that have caused it?
thanks!

Susan, the problem is that it is a 1993 car. It's time to replace that old jalopy. You probably have rust in the fuel tank and your fuel lines are getting corroded and old.
