Try a different gas station. Fill it up and run some 93 octane thru it and clean your throttle body. It wouldn't to run some injector cleaner at the same time. Mine did the same thing and this fixed it. Now I only run med or high in it.

Glad you are happy with the OME's. You say you just replaced the bushing and they are broke already. Let me ask you did you put a rear truss bar on the lower control arms? They tend to spread and put alot of pressure on the bushings, not to mention the alignment always getting knocked out. You can order those from Barb at info@trdparts4u.com.

Did you check your fuel pump? Sounds like an issue of fuel starvation, and your engine is not getting enough fuel.

Another thing you can also do is to get under and feel for any play in the drive line.
Well that's my 2 cents. Let us know what you find out.

Use a Multi-meter set the meter to OHMs and check your readings......different length wires will have different reading.
