Well my car died on me today which scared the **** outta me, i automatically thought "oh no, apex seal" but no all that stuff is fine. so i let the car sit for a while, let it unflood, and boom started.



But this problem has been happening for the past couple of weeks that when the car is warmed up, it doesn't want to start unless i hit the gas a lot, and ontop of that, when im driving it doesn't act like it's getting gas very well anymore, like i can hit the pedal and it "coughs" would be the best way to describe what happens. It won't immediately like, go fast and it was just fine a couple weeks ago so i don't know what happened from then to now. I let my car get really low on gas to the point i had to get my mom to take me to put some gas in a gas can and get it back to my crib so I could put some in. Im going to replace the fuel filter tomarrow so hopefully that fixes the problem but i have this aching feeling that's NOT the problem. So, any suggestions would be nice to have.

i was gonna say fuel filter, ive seen aftermarket ones rust and clog themselves

Check your pulsation damper too just to be safe and make sure its not leaking. Also it sounds like your injectors could be leaking, you might want to have them cleaned or install a bleeder line on the return line. I think they sell that at Mazdatrix. You can get your injectors cleaned and calibrated at Marren Injection or RC engineering.

Yes check the pd! Same symptoms happened to BigTs n/a. There is a loss is fuel pressure somewhere.

While driving shuts off or idleing?? Check for fuel leakage in case ias precaution
