Have been using regular gas for last 150k miles but recently filled with high test because gas is cheap and thought it might clean out some carbon. Car has 243k miles.
Sea Foam will clean your engine - intake, injectors, combustion chamber, etc. "Hi Test" will not.
Higher octane fuel actually has higher resistance to exploding. High compression engines need higher octane to prevent 'pre-combustion' or detonation (explosion). Diesel engines do not have a spark plug and rely on diesel fuel detonating due to the very high compression (sometimes 2.5 times what you see in gasoline engines). When octane is not high enough, just the compression stroke will cause the gasoline to detonate on its own prior to the spark plug firing, causing pinging or knocking.
So, DON'T USE 'HI-TEST' gasoline to clean out your engine - it will NOT perform that function for you!!!

Its a loose connection on the speedo cable. its a b*tch to get to. I had the same problem on my truck, it would fluctuate in 5th gear on the highway. i spent the money and had a professional do it.

try checking the coil for leaks. if it looks discolored anywhere on the coils then it's leaking. i had the same problem with mine. sounds like the same thing mine was doing untill i replaced the coil. could also be the drive gear for the distributor to but highly unlikely

the O2 sensor code should not cause a stall, the EGR might if it were stuck open but we don't see them stick and un-stick all by there self's, what you are describing is a bad idle air control valve ( motor ) we see these fail all the time and they don't generally set a code, it is a pretty easy repair it mounts right on the side of the throttle body, the best thing i can tell you is to by a new one that way you know what to look for under the hood, you need no special tools to replace the motor just some tourx bits, when you remove the motor take some carb. cleaner and clean the passage under the IAC motor.
let me know if there is any thing else i can do for you.
