Ok my car has been down for 7 months with the same fuel in it ,is my fuel bad will it cause back fire and make the car on run for 2 seconds then die? If so what's the nest way to get this out and put some fresh fuel in

pour some Stabil fuel stabilizer in there, bounce the back of the car to mix it all together, and start it 15-20 min after that. it may sputter a bit or start hard, but it will run fine after that. i would take it easy and keep it under 4K RPM's till you get some new gas in there. run the tank down to the E before filling up with new gas.

Ok thanks bud could that bad fuel make the car only run for a few seconds then backfire and die out?

I have only seen bad fuel make a car run bad in extreme cases where the fuel was either extremely old or contaminated. I doubt it will cause the car too run for 2 seconds and die out every time.

I think its a combo of both fuel and spark plug

thanks for reminding me, after you run through this gas tank, check some of your spark plugs and make sure they are not fouled up.

Yea I noticed when I poured the new fuel in I got it to run and idle by itself for 1
Min then it died trying to get all the bad fuel out of the lines I unhooked the hose that goes to the fuel rail and and got almost all of it out put a few clean gallons...how long do you think it might take to get the rest of the bad fuel out
