About a week ago the car started acting weird, the engine would start to die out and then pick back up. a couple of time the engine would start when you put it in reverse the car would stall. The car acts like it isn't getting enough gas at time but the fan not coming on when you first start the car makes me think it has to do with the electrical system ??????
Check idle speed control if bad car idling low it will stall when goiing bad it goes up and down in speed idle
SOURCE: my truck acts like it is starving for gas
Hi,
Replace the fuel filter as the fist action. Often this is charged for - but not done on a service, and if blocked will starve the engine. Just done mine after 3 years - would not believe the cr@p that was in it.
Try again.
If not much difference, check the fuel pump in the tank, and any cables to it.
If this fails, the engine needs to **** the fuel more - and can lead to starvation problems too.
Change the air filter every year, as this is cheap and will give you better MPG anyway.

have fuel injection system cleaned
Testimonial: "Thank you for the quick reply. This was one of my first thoughts along with possibility of a blocked fuel filter, fuel pump, or plugs/coil connectors."

Measure fuel pressure on injector rail - should be 38 to 40 psi. If low or fluctuating, then replace regulator. Another possibility is the in-tank filter being clogged - rare I know, but trash in the gas tank and it's clogged.
Testimonial: "Your help was really appreciated and i did pull the fuel pump and come to find out it was the fuel pump itself lol thanks for your help"

You might have what is called vapor lock. The fuel gets so hot that it boils in the fuel pump or the lines. Do this test spay water on the fuel pump to cool it off . ( this only works for a few minutes before it gets to hot and vapor locks again ) If you can Keep the engine heat Off the lines and the Fuel pump it might help. If you have metal fuel lines near a heat source rap them with something such as rubber fuel line sliced down the middle to keep the heat off them If you are using an aftermarket electric fuel pump relocate it down low near the gas tank ( they work better pushing than pulling ) away from any heat source such as exhaust If your using the stock fuel pump try replacing it with a new one it might be getting weak Replace the fuel filter while your at it.
