Best way to determine if it's gas related is pull the fuel line off the rail and turn the car to on and drain the entire fuel system, including the tank and start over with known good gas
Yes, the car seems to be on the verge of stalling/dying when I come to a stop. I've noticed it is sometimes sluggish on acceleration from a dead stop. So far as CODES, you, sir, are communicating with an IGNORAMUS when it comes to most auto problems. I do not have a code reader, and I want to avoid the dealership as long as possible. Ergo, no code references to furnish. (Thanks Voyager).
Had filled up from 1/4 tank previously. I always top off the tank to avoid condensation problems. I DID fill it up at the same time the fuel tanker was filling the underground fuel tanks. Something I usually try to avoid.
Sure hope it is not the wiring issue that Voyager experienced.
Guess I'll work my way through the current tank as I have no way of draining a fuel tank with the limited resources I have. Is there an additive that could help with that?
Sorry so many questions, but again, I am chief among Ignorami.
