big problem (can't reach redline)
ok basicly i bought some redex fuel additive i put 2 full tanks worth of the stuff whole bottle in to just half a tank of fuel. now i hope these side effects im gettig is from the redex and will go away but please tell me if sounds like something else as real worried atm basicly whe the car gets to 6k it holds a sec then shoots off not sure if thts the valves opening as herd about that before. also my car is uk model so 7.5k is redline starting limiter at 8.5 i used to be able to hit 8.5 now gets to nearly 8 and holds there all groggy sounding. then as i was crusein along at say 65 foot of throttle car stalled had to bump while moveing still . does this sound like effects of too much additive an it not burning at proper rate and possibly gunkiing up?

Eventually, i never used any aftermarket additives on my gas. Gasoline's these days usually have additives in it already. For example, i fill-up my gas tank with Chevron, and it has Techron already added to it. That is an additive added to it, and my car never had problems with knocks.

Be careful of clever marketing ploys.

DJSensation, I would look to the basics first. Check the air filter, spark plugs & ignition coils first.

I would recommend that you remove the spark plugs, inspect their current condition, and replace them to see if that clears up your issues.

bse is right... DJ, this is your third or fourth thread regarding the exact same issue. Not to mention your first thread was moved to the Troubleshooting forum, and then you post two more in this forum.
Instead of creating new threads for every thought you have on the subject, just stick to the original thread you made.
Not to mention that your YouTube link doesn't work... The correct link is
And did you ever try adding fuel to your two bottles of Redex (that some advised you not to use in the first place, let alone completely ignore the directions and use FOUR TIMES the amount that your are supposed to), like was advised in your first thread?

Ok thanks Wingznut ... it worked.
@DJSensation .. I get your alias "DJ" but in the future ... you want people to troubleshoot a video clip ... scratch the tunes ok? I can't here **** with your engine.
Edit:
So which thread are we posting in now?
Maybe an Mod can consolidate for us?
