Default losing power

recently i started having problems, when my gas gets under a quarter. my rpm starts jumping along with the mph or sometimes just drops to zero in the meanwhile i lose all power and the motor goes into a limp type of mode where it wants to turn off, and when i try accelerating only makes it worst because. also i've been experiencing some problems starting it, where it would crank over really slow and sometimes just do nothing
(today i jump started it and had it run for 10 mins with the cables still connected 10-15 seconds after i removed the cables it would go back into limp mode and want to die out, i put in a full tank of gas and drove the car for less then five mins and only encountered the problem once, which is pretty good compared to normal) before you guys start flaming me for some stupid little things i missed ive done alot of research where ive narrowed it down to my (((((fuel filter, fuel pump, alternator or ground))))

Default Re: losing power

what i would do 1st is take a good cleaning to your battery cables down to the starter and any ground wires!im talking about taking the cables off and getting a wire brush to them and to where they hook up to!
Im not sayn for sure this is the problem but i had a similar problem to yours and all it was,was to clean my cables real good and it fixed my issue!you'd be surprised on how well your car runs after you clean the cables
