Default 1994 c4

My 1994 C4 has 12K miles. Everything was running fine until I went to start it after adding a fuel stabilizer. The next time I started it everything was running smooth. I stopped for about 15 minutes and then when I restarted the motor it backfired and ran so ruff that I had to limp it back to the garage. After it sat in the garage, during cold weather, I started it and it seemed to run normal. When I attempted to return it to the garage the same ruff idle and backfire started again. Any ideas?
Thanks
Lou

did you mix it well while fueling or just dump it in.

Well-that's exactly what mine did-right out of the blue. Turned out to be the OPTI! Your adding stable, and then having this happen, may have just been coincidence. Mine is a 94 with 27000 miles so I was shocked that it was the OPTISPARK. Best wishes
