I just bought a 95 cadillac deville with a 4.9 fwd and she has a bit of noise coming from the motor not to sure if bottom end or top but im thinking the previous owner had ran low grade fuel for awhile and I just put 15 gallon of low grade in it before I seen it was premium only do you think it would be fine if I ran some octane booster with the 15 gallons then switch it back to premium to see if it clears up? It is also a tad bit hesitant but doesnt stall. Also would a low/Weak battery cause it to throw codes and the heater or blower motor to work only sometimes

A weak battery will cause all kinds of problems have it tested for condition including load test. Autoparts tirestores do for free. Run the fuel you have then switch to premium. Then have a local guy listen to the noise in motor.
