Well i went to leave my house and ended up back inside on AW searching my *ss off. the car started but it seemed like it wasnt running on all cylinders so i let it warm up for a few and it just died out. started it again and it seemed like it was running on less cylinders then before and eventually died out. now it wont even start.

when i was driving home today its seemed to stumble and lack power when i hit the gas harder then just casually going down the road. i didn't hear any backfiring but the engine did not sound right.

it has been taking longer and longer to start lately (4-7 seconds of cranking) but i cant seem to put a finger on what it is. I want to replace the spark plugs as a first step but i highly doubt the would all sh*t out at the same time.

If anybody has any input it would mean a lot to me seeing as this is my DD and I need to be places monday. thanks in advance, Kyle

Well what the hell did you do to fix it?

kysteezy

found out that my fuel filter was clogged up so i replaced that and she came back to life. My best guess at why it clogged is that i picked the wrong gas station when i was on the way to look at a snowmobile. i suppose ill find out within the week

I'd siphon out the rest of the fuel and at least run it through something like a paint filter.

kysteezy

yes sir i'm probably gonna put it on the four post and drain her tonight. any thoughts on flushing some kind of cleaner through the tank?

with a fresh tank of good gas, add a bottle of techron

kysteezy

is that an equivalent to seafoam? because seafoam has never let me down i've used it in all my engines.

Number68

no, it's strictly a fuel system cleaner. it's essentially the only one of those "mechanic in a bottle" things that i've really had work, aside from seafoam which i too have had good results in
