Rough Idle Question
I was out this morning for a road trip, approximately 80 miles out, reving the engine to 6K+ on the back roads of Indiana, blowing the carbon out I guess. Anyway, pulled into a BP station, only one in the small town and filled up with 93 octane. Car started and ran rough for 20 sec and died, did the same thing on the second start, waited approx 30 sec for the third try and it fired right up and purred. No problems the rest of the day. Any thoughts?

My 02 986 2.7 base model.
