hey whats up. today i was driving to night school and i looked down at the gas gauge and im running low. So on the way home i park my car infron to bank and get money from the ATM. When i put the car in drive the RPM's are fluctuating like crazy. Between the 350-950 RPMS. and when i let go of the brake slightly the car is like jumping and im like WTF. This happened to me a couple of months ago but i payed no attention until today when it happened again. SO i thought hey maybe shes hungry so i gave her $20 shot of 89 at AMaco and the problem persisted. So i got home and was like **** i hope my car is ok. Later on i go back out to get chinese food (wifey didnt cook) then the cars flucutates again then shuts offf? What is going on.



On a couple of occasions it shut off on me as well but i assumed the cold temperature was the culprit but today was 50 degrees in NyC so what is going on . Can anyone help me?



thanks jason

Check your connections along your fuel system like injector clips and at the pump.Somethings loose somewhere.

yeah thanks im going to look into that. It runs fine then 0nce and while it acts up . Ive been leading to the cuase of a faulty electrical system. Certain electrical parts on my car act up as well ill get it looked at when i put my alarm.
