what goin on ya'll, I just got an 06 mustang gt 4.6L. i added 104 octane booster and now when i try to give it some gas it pretty much lost all its ass. by this i mean no acceleration at all and its starts jerking and hesitation only while trying to get up to speed. What has me at a loss is when its in neutral it rev's up just fine. Any ideas?

Octane booster is noooooo good especially if you get the wrong stuff it can coat the O2's

Replace the O2's and the Plugs. Drain the gas tank and change the oil.

Cool, glad the problem is solved. A good lesson learned for others.
Just wondering... how did you drain the gas?

No I went with +104. I pulled the fuel filter and drained it through the line.
