Default Redex issue

Hoping you guys can help me

Added some redex into a full tank of super unleaded recently and ever since my car seems to stutter when accelerating from low revs.

Any ideas what the issue could be?

Thanks in advance

The only system cleaner I've found to give positive results is BK44. I keep redex for my mower.

Similar to richmc but Redline SI-1 for me and I don't have a mower so put any Redex I get in my boat. Doesn't really help you though does it ? The only thing I can think of is to check your ignition system - the spark plugs especially.

Redex? Sorry, is this 1958?

If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it.

The Redex could have shifted some muck and deposited further down the line, MAP sensor injectors plugs etc, I'd take it for a hard drive and wait till you can put some good clean fuel in V power or Tesco 99. I'm the mean time giving the MAP sensor a whack or taking it off and cleaning it is a good place to start but be careful not to loose the o ring. Loads of how to's on here, try a search. The tech FAQ has a whole section on this.
