coming home today, my fuel was low and the car began to sputter and idle really low, around 400 and when i gave it gas it wouldn't raise rpm. so i pull over and get some gas and put it in the car so i know i have gas but nothing changes, it turns on but idles low and when i give it fuel it still sputters, and may rise to 500 but nothing more, rpm won't go high enough to drive...what could it be??? perhaps a fuel pump?

 

sounds like a faulty fuel pump man

 

check the spark plugs and spark plug wires maybe . .

oh and does it feeel like it Doesnt wanna drive at all , like super sluggish ?

 

yeah check your fuel pump (fuel presser)
and check your spark plugs (gaping)

i had the same problem but it was my dizzy.
i gave it gas and it wanted to die out even more.
same with the map and tps sensors.

 

yeah sluggish is a good word, like im pushing it but it refuses to take it...no homo...and also i tried starting it up just now for the first time since the car cooled down and now it just refuses to start...does this further justify a fuel pump? i know my spark plugs are probably pretty bad since the car runs very lean, the tips of them are white as a ghost but there isn't even more then about 2000 miles on them

and would a fuel pump give out as im driving the car?

 

well today i pulled the return line coming from the egr valve and is shot a little big of gas out, followed by nothing...fuel pump for sure?

 

Check your main relay
Is the pump cycling?

 

i dont think so since there is no fuel shooting out of the return line
