Still could be the gas that was in the tank in the first place, but anyway...........
1) When asking for help with a technical issue, keep in mind that the few words you type are ALL we have to go on. "Car falls on its' face" is not telling us much as that kind of statement is too vauge, as is your thread title, so I edited it as best I can but I will probably edit it again once you describe what the car is doing better.
2) It would be best to tell us more about the car. Auto or manual? Any performance mods?
3) YOu bought a car that has been driven, on average, 611 miles per year - this leads to a question: How long did it sit just before you bought it?
If I were to buy such a low miles car (and I admit, a car with 11,000 miles would be attractive to me) know that you bought a potential basket case. Im not saying the car is 'broke', I'm saying there are issues here.
I'd address the obvious with such a car (and frankly, my car has 70,000 and ALL of the above has been done at least ONCE since I got the car in 2015 at 28,000 miles):
- Replace ALL FLUIDS. (Notice the word "all")
- Replace belt
- Replace battery
- Replace fuel pump and filter/regulator
- Replace Tires and TPMS sensors
- Replace hoses
Not all of those will cause the car to not run right, but ALL of our cars are OLD.
Some will tell you to run injector cleaner thru it. I don't use such products, but on the other hand, I do use Sta-Bil year round in my car and bike because they sit so much.
