Problem With Accelleration On '98 4runner
My '98 4runner has started to stutter and "hiccup" when i hit the accelerator pedal over the past few days or so. I believe I might have gotten my tank refilled the evening before this started to happen. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this, and how I can fix it. My tank is 3/4 full so it would not be possible to go and get my tank refilled with new fuel. Could it be the fact that the engine is within a 100 miles of reaching 100,000.Any input would be helpful. My aol instant messenger name is mrmojo1219.

"Vehicle Performance May Be Affected
On May 23rd, ConocoPhillips expanded the potentially affected area. Counties include:
Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, Mason, Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Jefferson, Island, Clallam, Lewis and Pacific.
FERNDALE, Wash., May 19, 2005 --- ConocoPhillips announced today that some gasoline recently sold in the Ferndale area may have affected vehicle performance, even though the product met or exceeded all state, local and federal gasoline specifications.
Customers who recently purchased gasoline at area retail locations supplied by ConocoPhillips, including but not limited to 76-branded locations, and who have experienced vehicle performance issues, such as rough idle or hesitation, should take their vehicles to an authorized dealership for their brand of car for inspection.
