alright well goin on the normal routine to get some gas ... come back out to the car starts up very sluggish though turned over a few times and kinda struggled and sputtered but started... i make it to the redlight then i rev it up to about 2k just to see if it would idle right and it just died... took about 2min to start the damn thing and it was veryyyy boggued down sounding when it started and struggle alot, pulled over in parking lot.. then it just wouldnt start after that... went and got a new battery, that didnt do a damn thing. Recently had new plug wires, coil, and distrubutor put on about a month ago. Any ideas guys?... maybe coil went out again, maybe alternator, possibly fuel filter??

one more thing i might add... it had been idling really low lately like for the past few weeks... and at a stop it would kinda sputter really really low though almost couldnt hear it.. it did that not often but sometimes

i dunno if the cat will cause it...my friend had a clogged cat and all it did was make him fail smog lol try ur fuel filter, maybe your fuel rails or something along those lines are clogged if u took ur tank all the way past empty o_0
