Not very likely at 32K miles. Check for vacuum leaks with a can of carb
cleaner (leave the airhat on and spray lightly around vacuum lines and ports
- watch the idle - will go up with carb cleaner and a vacuum leak).
Definitely try changing fuel as I have seen plenty of vehicles with "bad
gas" in them - causes problems that appear as other issues.
