It is intermittent. Sometimes the car works great, other times it takes me 10 times to start it, before I can press on the accelerator without it dying. There are no Check Engine codes. Last night I was at a restaurant, and it never recovered. I was able to put the car in drive and it drove at 8 mph to my house. If I pressed on the accelerator, it died and I had to start it again. It did end up being the fuel filter. Right after I replaced the fuel filter, I drove for about 5 miles. I came home and it died on me like before. I have not had a problem with it in the last 5 days, so I think it is fixed.
Sounds like a fuel issue / carb or fuel injection problem.

Check your fuel filter
Testimonial: "I replaced the fuel filter, but it did not fix the problem. I also removed the car alarm, since I did not have the remote for it. I also replaced the air filter. Any other suggestions? I do have an OBD2 scanner (Turbo)."
