I had a similar problem of the engine not running right but it was after about a year of driving my new (then) '05.

I took it to dealership but they were unable to figure it out. So I tossed in some Techron fuel system cleaner. It took at least 3 or 4 tankfulls of gas for the problem to clear up. I'm quite confident that I got a bad tank of gas. Oddly enough, my neighbor had the same problem with the same station near our house. More than a coincidence.

So . . . why not try a diff brand of gas? I'm currently using Shell V-power (93oct) and have found the car runs best with the Shell brand. I mean it's really that noticeable.

Good luck with your new ride Mr Monk !
