Well i had just filled up with gas, and i went to start my car, and it didnt start, the second time i tried it did, so i gave it some gas, and from 3k to idle it the exhaust popped like hell. I pulled out of the gas station, and the revs wouldnt get over 1500, and it was studering bad. I pulled out onto the street and came to a stop sign, it died 5-6 times, it would only stay running if i kept the revs up, and it still popped, once i got it going, it took a minute for the revs to actually get over 1.5k, then it did fine, once i drove it.

Any ideas?

sure you didnt put diesel in it :jester:

How low were you on gas, if you got it real low and kicked up a bunch of chit at the bottom you could of clogged up filter maybe?? :shrug:

Could be bad gas. :shrug:

If it was me I buy a new fuel filter and drain out that gas and try putting in 5 gallons of gas from another gas station and see if that fixed it.
 
i didnt put anymore in the tank after it clicked off. The fuel filter is fairly new, but i did run it kinda low. But it only does it when its hot out, i run it low, and fill it the same in the winter, and no probs. Could it be the MAF, or O2s
