I installed an 8" fan on the condenser and the problem went away. My little fan is till alive and kicking.

I would like to see how you got that fan in there.

I pulled the grille sections out, installed the fan, and reinstalled the grille sections. The fan is off to the driver's side a wee bit.
It was a bit tight but it fit.

Have you changed your filter recently?

I feel you may have got a bit of bad or dirty fuel.
I notice my fuel economy has been very jumpy the last few years. I also feel I have to change my filter more often.
