So 2 days ago i went to lowe's to pick some things up. I come out, start my car, and i back out of my space, go to go forward, it revvs to 2.5k then bogs. It won't go anywhere. I turned it off a number of times, and it would start right up, idle good, but just bogged out when i tried to go anywhere. I thought i may have been out of fuel, since the fuel light was on forever. Went back today with fuel, put in about 3 gallons. And now it dosen't start at all! It turns over and all. Seems like its not getting gas, but i don't know much about cars. Anyone have any ideas, or had a similar expirence? Any help is most greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

It could be a clogged fuel filter, Or check all the Distzy stuff. IE Rotor cap, and see if your getting spark. That happen to me with my civic and it turned out to be my wires.

 

Umm im not familiar with how the fuel works exactly, but the bogging sounds like it would come from no fuel, maybe, i guess it would have died if it ran OUT of fuel but i wonder if it would just lag like it did if the fuel pressure dropped signifacantly...

I think that maybe the fuel that you put in hasnt made it into the lines and up to the engine...

That would be my guess im pretty sure that if you turn your key to the on position the fuel pump will turn on and pressurize the lines, MAYBE you need to take off the fuel line at the filter (your filter could be clogged too, also causing this same problem) and bleed the air out of the fuel lines...or just crank the engine to bleed out the lines but who knows how long you would have to sit there cranking...

Hope i gave you some ideas...

 

maby you got some water in your gas..happens at cheap gas stations

 

thanks pirate i will try your idea. Anyone else have any ideas? how long does it take for fuel to go from the tank, through the lines, and into the engine?

 

Next time you go to start your engine, pay attention to your CEL (check engine light). If it stays on when your ignition is switched on, then your fuel pump is not pressurizing the system. If this is your case, then you probably have a bad Main Fuel Relay.
