hiemsnox Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 so to make this short i was getting off the highway and my car just died... thought ok must have not press the clutch enough or something... ive done it before cause my clutch is really stiff but i went to start it and it would start and then die right away... so i talked with my mechanic friend and he said to try to give it gas when starting... and it revved up but then died again... so basically what its doing is if i let the RPMs drop too much it dies... makes it very hard to get somewhere... problem is... im now 30 miles from home at work.

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 turn the key over and see if you can hear the fuel pump prime the lines.. if you can then its more than likely a clogged fuel filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 well i was saying that because i had the same problem.. car was bogging and randomly dieing so i would listen to my pump prime the lines and went with changing the filter and that fixed it.. i dont think theyre very expensive either, not sure anymore i bought mine about a year and a half ago.. i dont even use the stock filter anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
