Hi, recently my vehicle died in the intersection when I pressed on accelerator. It started but died when given gas and had to be pushed. I replaced the fuel relay fuse but it still acts up and will die when I give it gas if it's been sitting for a while. Idle is good at about 700 rpms but if engine cold she will sputter and die when given gas. I checked all the fluids, cleaned battery posts, checked air filter, all good. I add Lucas to my tank once a month. I can't tell if it's a vacuum leak or dying fuel filter.

I changed the sparkplugs in May but not ignition wires and cap. On my to do list, $$. Oil change in May as well since we drove cross country from Oregon to Colorado 2000 miles.

I'm afraid to drive her now as she can't be trusted, lol.

Help!

 

Check fuel pressure. Also, find access to a code reader (or torque app) that can read out real-time info. You might find that your throttle position sensor isn't working.
