When I took my car in today, LTMW thought it might be the gas.. Maybe just a bad batch or winter blend..

It never did it when I originally got the JB4, which makes them suspect it might be the gas..

I ended up after my install today, getting some 100 octane fuel, mixed in about 4 gallons to maybe a little more than half of my tank..seemed to clear it up and make it better, but I do not think it cured it..
