Could have jumped timing, check your timing belt.

first need to make sure you have enough fuel pressure. Hook up a tester and check against the specs. if its too low, then your probably looking at a fuel pump. By replacing the filter, you allowed more fuel to flow. Also, make sure you are getting spark and injector pulse.

1998 pontiac sunfire manual. Car starts but sputters and then dies and is completly dead but in the morning will start again and then die. I changed the coil pack but still the same. what can it be?

You can't do any testing, until you have a battery
that will take and hold a charge

Then you move on to testing the Alternator,then
Fuel Pressure & continue on with other testing

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. If I were you, I would check the fuel pressure and check for spark. Make sure the fuel filter is not clogged and make sure you don't have a bad fuel injector. Your fuel pump could be going out also. Ev en though it appears to be fuel related, it may be s problem due to bad plugs/coils, wires, distributor cap, rotor, coil packs. Go ahead and check all your fuses to be safe. Once you test for spark and fuel pressure, you will know which way to lean. I am sure that one of them are off a little. If not, it may be something electrical. I believe it is fuel related, so start there.

When your replaced the pump did you replace the fuel filter? You may have a fuel pump relay causing you some grief. I believe it is located in the engine compartment in the fuse center on the left inner fender. Check the relay and any related fuses. Check the electrical connection at the pump. They had problems with some of them and they would get kind of hot and distort and corrode. They have new updated ones that can be easily installed.

Started as a bad idle problem that got progresivly worse.

The bad iddle is an indication of poor gas mixture. Either weak fuel pump to deliver gas to meet Air:Gas ratio of 14.6:1 to maintain continuous combustions, or bad Fuel distributor. People try to get your money to do the tune up, but it will not help you in this case. Good luck in finding.

1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 4cyl spits and sputters while driving

if you have an electric fuel pump that would explain the hum. unhook your incoming fuel line and blow the line clear, sounds like you've got some junk in your tank.it'll build up on the screen in the tank then fall off (at least partially) when your making turns or hitting bumps or holes. next time it's only got a gallon or so of fuel i'd drop the tank and check the pickup tube inside. sux but that's the only way to get to it. while you've got the tank off and out from under the jeep, might as well clean it out real good and replace anything inside (usually the screen) that doesn't look right, dirty etc. wouldn't hurt to run a bottle of fuel system cleaner in the next full tank of fuel either. preferably as soon as you put your tank back. good luck
