Car Won't run right and now not start

I got gas at a gas station. i was going to leave, when i got on the road i hit the gas and had no power, car almost died. i coasted to the side of the road and the car was idling very rough and every time i stepped on the gas the car wanted to die. By the next day the car would even turn over, it just keeps cranking. If anyone could tell me whats going on that would be great or even a few ideas on where to start looking

  • john12059 Aug 07, 2009

    yeah i checked that it squirted out pretty good. I also put a funnel in the gas tank and listened to make sure the gas pump was turning on and it is.

Check the gas it could be contaminated, Not to sould like a Wise guy but are you sude it 's not deisel fuel you put in.

  • Anonymous Aug 04, 2009

    Good I hope I did not offend you but I have seen it before. Have you tried putting dry gas in? There should be a small valve that looks like a tire valve stem. made of metal (it may have a cap on it) cycle the key and then push that valve, Does gas trickle out or spray otu? if it trickles you may need a fuel pump. Let me know and I'll continue to try to help. Good luck.

SOURCE: rough idle, steady idle of

1999 Surburban. Rough idle when engine is cold for about 3-5 min and then it starts to smooth out. Any ideas why the engine would act like this?.

How do a car act when it needs a fuel filter

Yes, fuel starvation would be indicative of good start and idle, but then loses power on the road. Injectors are more likely to affect a variety of RPMs and would often set a check engine light and run roughly (they rarely all go at once) Filter is a decent diagnosis. Replace proactively at 50KM intervals. Bad gas is not unheard of either. While checking, also check the engine air filter.

I ran over a big rock in the road. It went under car and hit undercarriage. The car engine stopped and would not restart like it was't getting gas.

trace your fuel line from your carb back to fuel tank, sounds like you have a severed fuel line. in either primary or return. it will start on starting fluid but won't continue to run without fuel.
