Engine Performance problem
1993 BMW 318 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 132190 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have been putting leaded fuel(plus) into my 93 BMW for the past year. I know it says unleaded fuel only but I figured the better the gas the better it is for me car. Just recently my check engine light came on, so I refered to my owners manual which has not been opened in years. I read in there that if i put leaded fuel in my car, my oxygen sensor and three way catalytic converter will be damaged and rendered inoperative, even if the leaded fuel is used for a short period of time. Now I am thinking this might be a cause. Does it matter what type of fuel I use? Or should I stick to unleaded fuel only?
