So, i noticed after i blew up my throwout bearing sometimes my car dies soon as i turn it on. It cranks up fully, but than the revs drop and it dies. However, if i Rev her up when shes about to die than it stays on fine. This only happens after the car has set for 4 hours plus.



now i notice it ONLY does this when:


the gas hand is alittle under the line next to the RED empty line. Its not empty yet. NOw its never done this before.


Anyone have any idea to why it does this now?
 
Sounds like a series of issues. I would recommend doing a tune up twista. Have you reseted your battery lately, I know the 96/97 GT's have this problem with learning fuel trims when the motor is hot. You put it in gear it will stumble then stall. If it's this issue, start the car when its bone cold, then drive it around for 25min.

If its not this problem, do a serious tune up.

first thing i would do is change the plugs and fuel filter. fuel filter for sure, if youre always at the bottom of your tank.
