BG Products has a fuel cleaner It's called 44k fuel cleaner. about $20 a can. Dump it into a nearly empty tank, fill up the tank with gas, run that through, then get an oil change. It can mix on the wall of the cylinder, best to change the oil afterwards.
http://www.bgprod.com/products/fuelair.html best stuff out there. Techron is a joke, never worked on anything I've had, others here agree with me. 44k is the best. Sounds like that's what you need
plus you should be cleaning your MAF sensor too, I find every 15k it should be cleaned. CRC sells MAF sensor cleaner, spray. Works great.

about your MAF sensor its right next to the air filter box, one electrical connector & two screws. Inside an amber bulb (idle air temp sensor) and dow the tube is two wires (Mass Air Flow sensor). Disconnect battery before starting, once you remove it from car, of course, gently spray with cleaner and let it dry. Then reconnect battery once done.

hey do a search for 44k and you'll see the recommendations. I'm in there too since Ive tried everything and finally settled on what worked and thats 44k, but hey you dont have to believe me I already know it works better than anything out there.

EDIT: I know where I've heard advertisements for BG. Rush Limbaugh does their radio commercials.

here's a link to the difference between RON (Research Octane Number) and MON (Motor Octane Number). You'll see RON 91 most likely is 87 octane you see at the pump.
